A refrigerator that suddenly starts buzzing, humming, clicking, or grinding is telling you something needs attention. Common culprits include a worn evaporator fan motor, a failing condenser fan, or ice buildup hitting the fan blades. Our technicians pinpoint the noise source and address it with same-day service in Gainesville, Haymarket, and Bristow.
A grinding or squealing noise from the freezer compartment usually means the evaporator fan bearings are failing.
Buzzing or rattling from the bottom-rear of the fridge often means debris is caught in the condenser fan or the motor is wearing out.
A clicking or scraping sound can mean ice has formed around the fan. This often indicates a defrost system problem.
A loud, constant humming or clicking-then-stopping pattern can indicate compressor relay issues.
Try these before calling for service — they may resolve a simple issue.
Listen carefully to identify where the noise comes from — top, bottom, or back of the fridge
Check if the noise stops when you open the freezer door (evaporator fan stops with door open)
Look behind the fridge for anything vibrating against the wall or floor
Make sure the fridge is level and not vibrating against the counter
