Fridge Making Loud Noise in Calgary

Fridges make some normal operating sounds. A new loud rattle, scrape or repeated click needs checking, particularly if cooling has changed.

What details help identify the problem?

Describe where the sound comes from and whether it changes when a door opens. Tell us about frost, warming or recent moving.

What can I check safely?

Check for safely visible items touching the cabinet. Do not remove covers or move a heavy fridge to reach a running fan or compressor.

What we confirm before the repair

We identify the source and compare it with normal operation for the model before recommending a fan, compressor or other repair.

Does opening the door change the noise?

Report any change in the sound that you already noticed when a door was opened, and whether it is a rattle, scrape or repeated click. Include where the sound seems to originate without removing a panel. Stop use and seek help if noise accompanies smoke or a burning smell.

How do I request a diagnosis?

Send the full model number, the symptom and any displayed code when you request a visit. The $49 service call is applied toward the repair; confirm the full quote before authorizing work. See the repair cost guide for questions to ask.
