It’s normal for loud banging or knocking noises to come from your fridge occasionally. Your fridge runs with on/off cycles and often contains moving parts, heavy objects, and ice that will clink and clang.
All of these elements can make jolting, knocking, or banging noises as part of regular operation. But that doesn’t mean your fridge making a banging noise should be ignored.
Sometimes, non-repair issues need to be solved, like an uneven level or a frosting issue. If these don’t fix the noise, you may need to perform a repair on the fan blades, ice maker, or compressor.
If you’re lucky, what you’re hearing is just a normal cycle switch-on noise from the compressor, ice falling heavily into an empty compartment, or the ice maker arm moving into position.
Whether it’s nothing to worry about, a quick fix, or something that involves a part replacement, this guide will help stop the startling noises and get your fridge back to normal.
