Fridge Making Loud Noise and How To Fix It

If your fridge or refrigerator freezer is making a loud humming or rattling noise, this might actually be a pretty simple fix! In this video I explain what can cause this and how to fix it. Oftentimes this is caused by ice build-up around the fan in the freezer section. As long as you can get rid of that ice, most of the time that is all it takes to get rid of that loud noise.

Thanks so much for this video. I have the exact same fridge. The fan was making a lot of noise, and there were some other noises too. I removed the panel, exposing the evaporator coil, and let it sit for a couple of hours unplugged with the freezer door open. It worked like a charm. Everything's a lot quieter now. Thanks again!

I have this same fridge and it’s been annoying me for weeks. The popping, pinging and knocking noises were so bad I couldn’t concentrate. I came across this video and you have saved my sanity. Now, it’s quiet in my kitchen and I don’t hear my fridge in my bedroom anymore. THANK

[kaynunya]

Just fixed my side-by-side and it's midnight. Couldn't stand the noise all night now I can go to bed you're a lifesaver.👍

I started doing hvac when I was 17, started watching some of ur vids to help me to become better. You're doing a great job. I'm 18 now, you've helped me to grow in knowledge so much. God bless

[loeukchy]

Thank you Sir you save my night. I could not sleep because of the noise and I am worried that I need to buy a new fridge. You are the best teacher. Thank a million! 🙏

[SgnTake]

Solved my problem!! Thanks so much! I unplugged it then used a heat gun, emptied the ice tray and used a clean towel to soak up water and wipe everything down. It took about 15-20 minutes total. From emptying most of the freezer, defrosting ice maker and emptying some trapped cubes, then putting some things back. I have a side by side Frigidaire. This video saved me from having to call Lowes!

This dude is the absolute best teacher and has helped me tremendously.

It's amazing how true that old saying is: 'you learn something new every day.' Thanks to the ice build-up in the freezer and that little piece of information about Cayenne pepper, I learnt 2 things. Incredible. Thank you very much.

Got to say THANK YOU! You saved our freezer last night. It started making the sound and we were able to get it functioning properly again ❤

[nybiggs]

Wow what a coincidence. Started getting this loud noise from the refrigerator and I find it's the exact same fridge and noise as in this video. Thanks for the very clear instructional video.

The Hairdryer trick worked for me!!! Didnt uplug the fridge, just turned the setting inside fridge all the way off, so it stopped the fan from spinning. Emptied my freezer only, and used the hairdryer for about 10 minutes, thats all it took. do it just like the video says, it works. no need to defrost a whole day. its been a week now and no problems or loud fan noise.

[photographia]

Really appreciate that you made this video. Even after 2 years from your video. Had this issue with my refrigerator today. Saw your video today. Used a hair dryer to warm up the fan area and noise is gone. Thank you for your awesome advice. Saved me a lot of hassle of getting someone to come over and fix this issue. Bless you brother

Great Fixed my humming noise almost I left my refrigerator plugged in, cleaned everything out, noticed the ice built up inside, and simply left the freezer door open.. once the ice began to thaw a bit (3 minutes later), the noise went away, and I was able to readjust the temperature gage to the *recommended* setting. It had been pushed to the coolest temp by the overcrowding of the freezer as mentioned. Thanks again!!

[nikkiv]

Omg thank you! It worked on my fridge. We just recently got a new fridge and I went overboard buying ice cream and stuffed it all in the freezer. And then it started making a loud noise, bump into this video and I did the hair blow dryer method, ice melted and minutes and the fridge sounded normal again. Now I can enjoy my ice cream!!! 😋😋😋

Thank God. I thought my 2 year old Fridge was screwed up. Turns out that was exactly what was happening. It’s a bottom freezer. And guess what… I had it packed full lol. Thank You for all your videos!!! Subscribed!!

[callmljok]

This was SO MUCH more relevant than the silly video produced by LG! In fact there is no comparison. Thank you!

[달붉은-sh]

Dude youre a savior! instead of changing out some parts, you helped me identified the true cause of my fridge's noise as well! My dad made space, opened the door for several minutes, lowered the temperature temporarily, and BAM, back to normal like magic, lesson learned, thank you so much sir, may God bless you

[amaliecoghlan]

Thank you so so much! Woke up at 4am to this horrible, super loud noise from the freezer. It's only 2 years old, and was worried I'd be forking out a lot of money to fix it. The hairdryer worked a treat, didn't even have to take the parts out. Can't thank you enough

[davidfreemantle]

Hair dryer, genius!!! worked within two mins. thanks you

[PaulaAleA]

I am so grateful. I was about to buy a new refrigerator. The noise was so annoying that I thought that the compressor was broken. I just took Eve from the fridge (yes, it was packed 🤦🏼‍♀️), used the hair dryer for about 15 minutes and leave the fridge desconected for couple of hours. Voila 🙏🏻

Thank you 😊
