Refrigerator Making Loud Noise – Wheat Ridge
If your refrigerator has started making banging, buzzing, ratting, or humming noises, it may be more than just annoying-it could be the sign of a failing part. At Tonny’s Appliance Repair, we help customers in Wheat Ridge identify and repair noisy refrigerators before the problem gets worse.
What Causes a Loud Refrigerator
Refrigerators make noise during normal operation, but when those sounds get louder, persistent, or unusual, it’s time to check for mechanical or electrical failures.
Most common causes:
-
Evaporator fan motor failing
-
Condenser fan blade obstruction
-
Loose or vibrating panels or shelves
-
Damaged compressor
-
Clogged defrost drain creating water gurgle
-
Refrigerator not level
-
Ice buildup near internal fan
-
Worn bearings or support mounts
