Noisy fridge? Let’s find the sound.

Every fridge hums a little. Grinding, rattling, loud buzzing or a click every few minutes usually means a part is about to fail. Catching it early is far cheaper.

What we fix

Common fridge problems.

Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.

01

Click every few minutes

The compressor tries to start and fails: a start relay, overload or capacitor.

02

Grinding or scraping

Ice touching the fan blade, or a fan motor with worn bearings.

03

Rattling

Loose compressor mounts, a drip tray or pipes touching the back of the fridge.

04

Loud buzzing

A struggling compressor, often from low gas or very dirty condenser coils.

05

Knocking when it stops

Worn compressor mounts letting the compressor hit the frame.

06

Gurgling and hissing

Usually normal gas flow. If it is new and the fridge is warm, the gas may be low.

Record a 10-second video of the noise on your phone and send it on WhatsApp. Our technician can often tell the fault from the sound.

Questions

Fridge questions.

Still not sure? Call 0725 570 499 or send a photo of the fault on WhatsApp.

Why does my fridge click but not start?

The compressor tries to start and the overload cuts it off. A start relay or capacitor is the usual cause, and replacing it early protects the compressor.

Is a noisy fridge going to break?

Often yes. A grinding fan or a struggling compressor usually fails within weeks. A quick repair now costs much less.

My new inverter fridge hums at different speeds. Is that normal?

Yes. Inverter compressors speed up and slow down. Grinding, rattling or clicking is not normal.
