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

Types of Noises and What They Mean

Sound Possible Cause
Banging/knocking……………….. Ice hitting fan or loose compressor
Buzzing/humming………………. Compressor or fan strain
Rattling………………………………. Loose part or tubing against panel
Gurgling…………………………….. Water flow or clogged defrost drain
Screeching………………………….. Fan blade rubbing against ice buildup
