Share Does your fridge make noise?If you hear any of these sounds, something is wrongLittle poltergeists bother us at night, especially in summer, when we go near the fridge.An incessant noise, between vibrations and dripping, makes us scaly and we wonder what could be the reason for these 'screams' that our refrigerators send out.It is logical to worry when the fridge makes noise, because sometimes it can be a symptom that something is wrong.Perhaps it is the compressor, the condenser or it could be the evaporator, three of the fundamental parts of this essential appliance.Fortunately, most of the time they are not problems, but small imbalances that have to do with internal or external temperatures and, even, a simple question of balance, both of what the refrigerator contains and where it is supported.This is the main reason why we must bear in mind that there are noises that fall within normality —it also happens to silent refrigerators— and other types of noise that can mean a breakdown or the possibility of it.As much as we pretend to be discreet, any refrigerator is always going to make noise.Perhaps not much or perhaps it goes more unnoticed in winter than in summer or, above all, it is more noticeable at night when the house is calm.The reality is that buzzes, sounds of small drops, some kind of hiss or certain clicks may be more common than we think.In the case of normal refrigerator noises, we mainly distinguish three.It is obvious to think that the function of a refrigerator is to cool, but if we send it to fight against the elements, its task becomes more complicated.That is why the motor of a refrigerator reaches a great temperature while it is running, even more so in summer, when the ambient temperature adds fuel to the fire and forces our refrigerators to do extra work.In addition, another added problem usually comes with how we place the fridge, which is usually a source of noise until we identify it.One of the most common is to bring the refrigerator too close to the wall – most manufacturers recommend leaving a distance of about 15 centimeters.Otherwise, what we will do is prevent its heat from dissipating, concentrating it even more and requiring even more effort.Another mistake, this time much more childish, is in not placing the legs of the refrigerator properly and letting one of them dance.A poorly screwed screw or a slight unevenness can mean that our fridge is not fully seated on the floor, which usually generates noises —absurd, but noises— because there are certain imbalances inside it.Knowing that drips, buzzes and clicks can be normal things, there is another series of noises that do not enter the everyday.Drips very often, almost like a faucet, are an unequivocal sign that something is wrong.It is also not usual to hear small bass hits, as it may have to do with a compressor in poor condition.On top of that, popping sounds are also not welcome.Haier 3D 60 Series 3 HTR3619ENMN - Combi Refrigerator, Direct Access Freezer Drawers, Inverter Motor, My Zone, Total No Frost, Width 60cm, Height 1.9m, 348L, LED Lighting, Class E, Stainless SteelIn any of these cases, the best option is to call the insurance company or the technician, since the refrigerator will probably have a break that should be corrected as soon as possible.In this case of sudden noises, it usually happens for two reasons.In the case of the compressor —it makes noise when the refrigerator turns off, for example—, it is common for it to sound**, although certain clicks or sound of cables** may have to do with problems in the fuses or in the defrost heater, very also influenced by the faulty electronic board.Among other common noises that indicate problems is a more continuous gurgling, somewhat muffled, which shows us that the coolant is not circulating well —in addition, you will notice that the temperature of the refrigerator is higher (hotter)— than usual.Finally, if you notice that the refrigeration motor never stops moving and making noise, it may be a matter of the thermostat, which cannot detect the temperature of the refrigerator and continues in perpetual movement, which also supposes an added cost of electricity.In DAP |How to clean the fridge and freezer inside and out: tips and tools for a sparkling fridge At DAP |Fridge and freezer cleaning guide: six purchases to do it step by step and in depthShare Does your fridge make noise?If you hear any of these sounds, something is wrongIf you liked it, you can receive more in your mailWe send you our newsletter once a day, with everything we publishMore Sites You'll LikeSee more articlesSee more videosIn Directo al Paladar we talk about...
