Refrigerators hum quietly during normal operation — new rattling, buzzing, or clicking usually means something specific has changed.
Call (854) 291-4043 Book OnlineLikely Causes
Causes a rattling or scraping noise, usually tied to a defrost system fault.
Produces a repeated clicking sound as the compressor tries and fails to start.
Creates a buzzing or humming noise, usually from the back of the unit.

What You Can Safely Check Yourself
