As a general rule, refrigerators make noises, this does not have to mean that something bad is happening to them, since household appliances and electronic devices often make sounds simply because they are working. That is why it is important to know how to distinguish between good and abnormal noises, which indicate that something is wrong.
It must be taken into account that heA refrigerator is an appliance that is switched on and running 24 hours a day.and while it is true that the new refrigerators are increasingly quieter and better equipped, this does not mean that the noises they emit, however weak they may be, are not going to be a problem.
Normal noises we don’t have to worry about
As we said before, there are two types of noises, in the first place there are “the good ones” since they are normal sounds that sound for notify us of something or when a refrigerator function is activated. For example, here are the beep as alarm what sounds when you leave the refrigerator door open.
We can also hear a little snapwhich means that the thermostat just turned off because the temperature regulation cycle has just finished or also the gurgling which indicates that he refrigerant fluid is in motion.
The noises that should worry you
On the other hand, there are also a series of noises that if we hear in our fridge we should worry. The first of them corresponds to the fact that we listen to a loud sound coming from the fan, If this happens, it is probably a fault in the compensator.
In the event that what you notice is rather vibrationsthis can happen because your fridge is not installed correctly and if you hear those vibrations only inside, the problem may be how they are placed the shelves.
There are other times when the noise we hear is very loose and it seems that again it only comes from the inside of our refrigerator, in this case the problem may be in the drip tray.
Depending on the type of noise, where it comes from and your skills and knowledge in fixing electrical appliances, there will be problems that you can solve on your own, while others it is more convenient to contact a specialist. It may also happen that the sounds are due to the fact that your refrigerator is too old and needs to be retired more than a repair.
