how to avoid fridge noise?

Answer 1

Certainly both 1 and 2 offer valid suggestions. Without any details my answers might sound as irreverent as number 1, but you did say AVOID, so his suggestions are credible. I might have said; "spend less time in the kitchen"???

Since you offer no details about TYPE of noise, or age of the appliance; it's rather difficult to offer exact advice.

I have one that's 23 years old, self defrosting; with ice maker; that looks and works fine; though it will make some NORMAL noise in its operation. I'm not at all offended by the noise; and it isn't constant.

Answer 2

We bought a new fridge recently, with an ice-maker in the freezer section (no water/ice dispenser on front) - several times a day we would hear noise coming from the fridge that sounded like it was groaning. It turns out the ice-maker was turned on when the store delivered it but we never had a water line run to the fridge (never intended to use the ice-maker). After turning off the ice-maker it no longer 'growls' at us. ;-)

Just something else to keep in mind.

Answer 3

DIY is right... but I would get on a chair or my hands and knees to see what's causing the noise. It could be in the freezer with a plastic bag stuck in the fan or in the ice maker making ice. It could be the compressor vibrating or a loose bracket. There are no moving parts (exposed) so you might look to see if there is simply a rattling drip pan or piece of sheet metal...

Answer 4

Honestly mine was so bad,i had to get a new fridge, make sure you hear them on in the store first

Answer 5

Have an appliance repairman find out why it's making so much noise.

Answer 6

Put headphones on, or roll up toilet paper and stuff in your ears. :)
