Reason #1: Evaporator fan motor: It turns the fan blade to circulate cold air around the fridge unit. If you hear a squeaking noise, the evaporator fan motor may be going bad and need to be replaced.

Reason #2: Condenser fan motor: This part keeps the compressor and condenser coils cool during operation. The condenser fan motor may be making a loud noise if it needs to be replaced.
Reason #3: Evaporator Motor Fan Blade: The evaporator motor fan blade circulates cold air through the unit. A noisy fan blade can be caused by ice getting in the way (so check this first), otherwise the blade may be cracked and need to be replaced.
Reason #4: Condenser Motor Fan Blade: This fan circulates air to cool the compressor and condenser coils. If damaged, the condenser motor fan blade may make noise.
Reason #5: Door Closure Cams: The fridge door rides on the door closure cams when it opens and closes.. If you are hearing a plastic-on-plastic grinding noise when opening the fridge, the door closure cams may be the problem.
Reason #6: Water inlet valve: The water inlet valve controls the water going into the refrigerator. A damaged solenoid or clogged valve may be the problem if it is making noise.
Reason #7: Compressor: The compressor pumps the refrigerant around the refrigerator system. Noise could be occurring when the compressor starts or stops if it has started to fail.
The 'Top 7 Reasons Your Refrigerator is Making Noise' video covers all major brands of Refrigerator, including: GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Maytag, LG, Kenmore/Sears, Samsung, KitchenAid, and others.

I’d love it if we could hear the sounds
no you wouldn't, these are not the types of things anyone should hear.
Great video. Maybe the best video that I came across on CZcams, troubleshooting refrigerator noises. But you missed one. At some point I accidentally hit a little handle in my freezer area that activates the icemaker. I don’t use my icemaker, I never hooked it up to a water line. But at some point I accidentally bumped that metal handle, which activated it, causing it to make clunking noises. I flipped the metal wire handle back up to the off position and voilà! The knocking and bumping noises have stopped! I am so glad it was something simple.
Too bad you don’t have anybody monitoring this video comments. It would be nice to have somebody replying to their comments, helping people out while they are trying to troubleshoot their refrigerators.
Missed another one. Mine is making a blowing wind noise. Goes on and off, sounds like a gust of wind. Fans are all good
Excellent presentation. Simple and elegant, Thank you.

Thank you!!!!!!!! Y’all are the best!
Great video thanks for sharing
Mystery noise: when it is in cooling mode it makes a tick tock sound like a clock. Consistently rhythmic but loud and clunky. In between cycles it is dead quiet . Any idea what to check for?
thanks for the video !!
Excellent video. Extremely helpful
Glad we were able to assist you!
Would be nice to hear what the noises actually sound like!
I been learning a lot with this CZcams channel !
Excellent videos .
Thank you!
Thank you .
We have a kemore refigerator french doors and freezer on bottom 2015-2018?. We have replaced the evaporator fan and the control panel and the refrigerator still does not cool the refrigerator portion. The freezer is working perfectly. What is the problem?
I have a Kenmore double side door fridge with ice maker/water dispenser that constantly makes a sound identical to what a mouse digging a hole in the wall would sound like, clicking or tapping at wood . The waterlines have never been hooked up it cools/freezes fine the sound seems constant it's used got a little banged around on delivery 4 months ago but I just noticed the sound 2 weeks ago. Maybe it's always done this but I'm not so sure. Any advice on whats going on?
Thank you.
Thank you
the most matter of fact man alive.
If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
This was informative. I wish, however, this also covered electronic beeps that is not related to the door alarm.
I real like the information that you shared it was very helpful.thank you
You are very welcome! Glad we were able to help you out. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
So I apparently just discovered yet another 'project' to add to my to-do list...clean the coils/around condenser of my fridge. He said clean once a year and my jaw dropped, as most probably would too. I'm 37 year-old guy, lived through a fixer-upper house experience, and other home improvement endevours over the years, and I NEVER heard that you should dust-off condenser area of your fridge, let alone once a year. In hindsight from this video...duh. PCs and laptops collect dust fast too. My fridge has been making weird groaning noises, internittent for about 5 minutes every few hours. No clue. Now I'm thinking I need to clean out the condenser area since I have 2 cats, hard floors, been renting the house 4 years now, bare-minimum style landlord. Sounds like I gotta get my hands dirty this weekend. And order a condenser cleaning brush for a fridge I don't own lol
How do I replace the small line on the back of the fridge. Not the 2 lines that come out but the single line that connects to the 2
My Kenmore Elite 795.7105 makes 16 rapid knock-knock-knocks every 60 minutes near the freezer discharge vent. Sound is not coming from underneath where the compressor and water solenoid are. Ice maker is off. Any ideas?
What causes a sound like someone is blowing across a bottle at random? It's an LG fridge with one of the inverter compressors.
Great video and pleasant to listen to.b
Thank you. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
I have a Whirlpool French door refrigerator, yesterday the light went out and in the back I am hearing soft ticking sound . I don’t use the water /ice dispenser by the way. Appreciate your thoughts. Thank you
Did you get your frig fix ? I have the same problem
Great video. My GE is 6-months old and has made this noise from the beginning - it’s a very high-pitched “whining” sound like a humidifier makes. I absolutely HATE it! So much that I’m almost willing to buy something else, unfortunately I don’t have another $1800 to spend. Ice maker is not connected FYI. Can you help me?
My brand new GE is doing the same high-pitched whine. I am almost ready to buy something new too. We have been ripped off.
I thought the sudden loud hum noise was the freezer fan. Nope. I aimed a strong small table fan at the bottom back of refrigerator (along where the compressor is) and the loud noise stopped.
Mind you, the noise was coming from the freezer compartment. But by me cooling the outside back bottom of the refrigerator, I stopped the loud noise.
This video would be sooo much more useful with clear audio of each type of problem!
When water valve is activated veery loud when filling ice maker. Replaced fill valve still loud when activated?? 11:45 pm.
Not sure how people can make such an unhelpful video like you mention its a bit stupid
Great video. You didn't mention the problem I'm having. But I know how to rule out many things now.
If we can help you out with anything please let us know!
@@appliancepartspros It's the fridge DOOR making the humming noise. I moved things around, making sure nothing was around the edges. Seemed to help for now.
The evaporator fan sounds like running at erratic RPM. No squeak or grind but sounds like struggling to run at full speed. Unit is still cooling just fine. Should fan sound like this?
My kenmore refrigerator is making a loud knocking noise.
What do you think is wrong?
What about the drip pan noise?
For #3 was that visible from inside the fridge or did you have to take parts off to get at it?
Frigdair gallery noise when freezer drawer is moved
I have a GE Profile about 10 years old has a knocking noise around the cooling fans and motor. It knocks about 10 times for 3 seconds every 5 minutes, very regularly. It sounds like a quiet jack hammer. I cleaned the cooling fans in bottom back (coated with this dust). Does anyone know what the problem is? I have recorded the sound and can send a picture of the area, lower back of refrigerator. Thanks.
My refrigerator makes a quiet jackhammer noise when the freezer is defrosting.
My Frigidaire Refrigerator makes a noise when dispensing water and water comes out very slow not sure what can be ??
Hands up everyone who does this once a year! :D I sure don't! (Perhaps I should start tho...)
Kenmore elite not cooling in frignor freezer.... making a burping noise ?
... very, very nice. God with you. LoL.
I have a GE. It makes like a howling wind noise, keeps going on and off, also sounds like a blower starts and stops for a second or two, both fans work good. What could it be? Please help, any info is greatly appreciated
Have you checked to see if any ice is built up? What is the model number of your appliance?
@@appliancepartspros No ice build up, not by it right now to get model number
Perfect wide stance
Our new LG fridge seems to work fine, but at seemingly random intervals it will make what can best be described as the sound of a dial tone on an old analog phone. This sound is fairly faint, but definite, and will only last for a few seconds and stops. The sound itself is faint, and it's not a big issue in itself, but we'd like to know what it is.
My new Whirlpool French door model makes those same phone dial tones, especially after closing the doors.
On Whirlpool forums it is said customers are being told by Whirlpool and their techs that this is a normal noise, and part of the operation of appliance.
Until seeing your post, I had no idea other refrigerator brands did this 👍
Is it the ice maker?
My Whirlpool Proper sounds like a jet taking off its so loud. What can I check.
Would you describe the sound as like a motorcycle revving up? That's what I'm trying to troubleshoot. I've had 2 techs out, and they can find no problems with my 10-yr-old Whirlpool .
What if it's making a rattling noise? It began doin that, my son noticed few min ago, there was a bag in the way, we removed it for about 5-10 mins it lasted idk but I do know that I have a double door side by side middle part of the fridge it freezes whatever is there, the top n bottom r fine.
Have you checked to see if there is any ice build up near the evaporator fan motor?
I wish he would give an idea about the costs of the parts.
I have a whirlpool refrigerator, bought last year. since last week there’s very loud knocking sound from its back, drive me nuts! will never buy again!
I have the same problem.
Any fix?
Same! Did anyone figure out a fix?
My fridge makes a whistling / yawning sound ... what is that.
Why not include symptoms to identify which issues to address, examples of sounds and so on. Am I missing something?
The fridge is having a loud grinding sound coming from the back panel of the freezer, there's a fan.
My 10-yr-old Whirlpool occasionally sounds like a motorcycle revving up, and lasts from 20 mins. to an hour. Is that similar to your sound? A handyman and a refrigerator repairman have been out. Both say all parts are in working order. Of course the sound was not happening when they came.
Freezer drawer movement noise
My Ge french door makes a very very loud whining noise intermittently. It is so loud that I can hear it upstairs. If I shut the fridge off for a minute and turn it on again the noise is gone until the next time. Is anyone experiencing this?
It could be a part that is going out, but you would need to find which part is making the sound. You can call us at 1-877-477-7278 if you have questions.

Click on/off commercial up right freezer loud noise starts..What can be the problem 2:38
What is the model number of your freezer?
When are you hearing the clicking noise?
@@appliancepartspros When push button to on between the two lights at bottom right
Humming sound
What is the model number of your appliance?
My refrigerator sounds like there's a seal issue with the replacement filter, anyone ever hear of that I only hear it sporadically
Mine is making noise when unplugged and water off
What kind of noise is it making? What is the model number of your fridge?
"Make sure to do this at least once a year"
Me, having owned my fridge for 15 years with no maintenance : 😬
Clicked the switch
What do you mean click the switch? What is the model number of your appliance? What is going on with it?
@@appliancepartspros it is pushed down to off so decided to push to on..Light is on and air blows but not cold without pushing to on
What is the model number of your appliance?
Is it the fan? No, what about the fan? No. Did you check the fan blades? Its not the fan. Is the fan making the noise, it could be the blades? The fans are fine. Ok then its your door hinges. No the fridge is popping. Ok then its your water valve. No its popping. Got it the compressor is bad.
Lol.. 9/10 the problem is dirty coils which will in turn cause this stuff in the video to fail, but they wouldnt tell you that because preventative maintenance plays hell in the parts selling business..
why do you stand with your legs so far apart?
stability
why is he standing like CR7 during a free kick
Brand new LG fridge here - bought March 12th and it vibrates and buzzes and goes on for hours. LG techs useless. One told me to just sell it!
Would you describe the sound as like a motorcycle revving up? That's what I'm trying to troubleshoot. I've had 2 techs out, and they can find no problems with my 10-yr-old Whirlpool .
1 Knob for $22 bucks??!!!
This is a great video, super informative! But omg dude..you have got to stop talking like you're trying to make an instructional video! 🙉😣 Your rhythm and inflection is so repetitive, it's unbearable! You don't have to do all that. You clearly are knowledgeable, just act naturally 😎
He IS making an instructional video. Just appreciate the free information without the criticism.
Who are you his public speech professor?
while probably well intentioned, I disagree. I immediately liked this video because it wasnt overly polished, and it was exactly what I was looking for :) I like the guy in the video, he's got character.
This guy is awesome.
If you don't want an instruction video, pay a lot of money and don't listen! Call the repair guy and look at his butt as he does all that was mentioned.
