Thank you for making this. My refrigerator knocked loudly the other night when I got out of bed for a glass of water. That scared the crap out of me! 😂 Got my heart pumping, that's for sure!
Ok my integrated FF was working for 6 months without any loud noises then one day I thought an earthquake was going on. The noise was intermittent & is now not so noisy. So what is going on? No fridge or freezer I’ve ever had made that racket!
01:28 I've had my AEG fridge-freezer for about 6 or 7 years and only this month have I really noticed the pops, bangs and creaking noises and as I can't now 'unhear' them it's freaking me out a bit. But you've helped a little bit putting my mind at ease. Thanks!
Thought it might be a relay tripping? fridge is 11yrs. old. 8 to 10 was life for a fridge i read somewhere? Fridge wasn't getting cold 2 yrs. ago. turned out condenser was iced up. plus the motor (whirring sound) was bad! ...UA-cam.; is BOSS! something not working at my home? ...UA-cam to the rescue! saved me big money over time.
Thanks for that!! Locked down during the pandemic and periodically I get these cracking sounds coming from the freezer. Whew!! (fridge is only 3 years old.)
Hi miathapapaya The sound your describing is part of the normal operation of your machine. The noise is coming from the gas condenser at the back of your appliance. However if you are still unsure and would like to speak to one of our technical team, give us a call at 03448 224 224 Regards Hotpoint Service Team
Hi. Soon as my fridge "turns on", I hear what sounds almost like something running or settling inside. I don't see mouse droppings, so I doubt that's it. What can it be?
@@HotpointCustomerServiceUK Excuse me, I think you have met a misguidance in my comment. There ARE dead squirrels in the appliance. It was there with the purchase.
Awesome video. I am a mechanic, and fridge noises are right up there with "ghost in the machine" normal sounds emanating from our mechanical devices. Lol.
Fab! It’s normal to hear the cracking and bang!! I’m probably only noticing it because the fridge freezer is just outside my bedroom while the kitchen is being refitted! 👍
This is so funny to read because my refrigerator makes a sound that sounds like Samantha fox song “touch me“! It sounds like the point in the song where she’s moaning! Totally serious about this! I wish I could find the problem!
Lol, this is my bloody fridge. Got that snooooop thing going on too! As well as what sounds like a cow on a motorbike amongst other weird and wonderful noises. It’s driving me crazy!!!
Yes I was here for the crack and bang! Mine was more like a popping sound.. like a mini pop.. I was finding it very weird.. glad to know it is normal. I have observed this for 6 months but other than that nothing is wrong inside my fridge.
A bit dissapointed by this video but found what my problem was from other youtube videos. The noise mine was making was like a grandfather/mother clock occasionally.
Mine sometimes sounds like a frog and other times like a wailing ghost. I doubt that's normal. I booked a repair team to come have a look at it. These noises started after it has been repaired for a new thermal fuse.
What about if you get 6 really rapid faint clicks when you open the fridge door? Only happens if you haven't opened the door for a while, and everything is cooling correctly.
I've moved in this place and it's been 3 weeks...daily at different times we hear straight up growling. It sounds like a sasquatch was shot in the stomach and dying. The first weekend I called the leasing office and asked if the guy next door has some kind of chronic pain because I almost called 911 this k he was injured.
🤣🤣🤣 Yep, mines like a cow on a motorbike, in pain rising to a high pitch snoooop from drop it’s like it’s hot! Other times it’s like a low gurgling/moaning. Sometimes it sound like a man is talking. All very loud and distracting!
All these noises are nothing compared to my fridge noise. I hear a noise like if someone was trowing ice cubes on the wall for 1-2 hours every 3 hours. I really don't know what's going on.
Bro my fridge makes a gurgling/bubbling sound almost like when you make fried chicken and that sound doesn’t even come from the water defrosting and dripping into the pan. It’s straight up from the compressor and it is super loud
I bought a used samsunf fridge today. I left it for 6 hours after that i turned it on and the compressor started maked a very loud buzzing noise. After that i turned it immediatly off. Should i be concerned?
Hi, I have the FFA70 hotpoint Fridge/Freezer. The warning light for Freezer High temperature has came on! The freezer is still working, but I did notice the top shelf in freezer, was not keep the foods frozen. I checked the fan behind, it works. There is not a lot of ice over the pipe work, which would suggest to me the element and sensor are working. So it’s defrosting. What do you think is going on ?
Question, if you're still checking: Re: "Give the compressor a few months to settle in" - why is that? I thought the gurgling/whooshing sound is just the refrigerant equalizing through the tubes when it first comes on. Should that sound really last more than a few seconds? What makes it so the first few months make the compressor louder?
My hotpoint fridge makes so much noise and so frequently I can hear it in the next room. I have a video of the worst loud noises it makes... is there someone I can send it to to assess why it's so noisy? I live in a small flat and now working from home in lockdown is making it unbearable.

Thank you for a helpful video. However, I think the idea of having music playing in the background when you are trying to demonstrate fridge sounds is rather strange and very unhelpful.
This is a design flaw in modern fridge freezers in my opinion! Our Hotpoint fridge freezer makes a ridiculous amount of "norma"l noise for an item constantly in use in a general living space. Older fridges I remember never did this!
Hi, I have a Hotpoint Ariston refrigerator bought in 2016 (I think) and for a few days and a few days ago it started making two very strange noises in particular and that prompted me to turn off the fridge out of fear. the first noise is like the "crack bangs" you showed at the minute 1:31 and the thing that worried me is that you said it makes that noise when the ice comes off, but the refrigerator, it doesn't make ice. and second love is hard to explain. it's a vibration that comes slowly then quickly becomes quite strong and to make it stop you have to turn off the refrigerator, then turn it back on again and that noise stops on its own after a few seconds but it's very strange because it's not among the noises you showed, please give me an answer because I'm very worried and worried that it's not normal. Please give me an answer because I would like to understand if this is normal
Thank you! I've always wondered about this. But what if the cracks and bangs become really loud? What does that mean? My fridge is older than 12 years.
My fridge/freezer has a very full intermittent beep. It doesn’t go away as soon as the power is switched off but does disappear when the super cool button is pressed. Immediately comes back when super is deactivated. Nothing is blocking airways and seals seem intact
Very helpful video. Please can you help me with one answer. I have a Hotpoint fridge and freezer - 5 years. and is making Buzz noisy for a few times per day. The noisy is for 2, 3 min after is stop. I really apreciate your help It is for maintenance or is normal.
Hi Yanko Dimitrov Thank you for your message...On all of our new Fridges it can take a few weeks for the compressor to settle...If the noise is still there after this amount of time, please give us a call on 03448 224 224 so we can take more details, thank you. Hotpoint Service
Our 3-4 year old GE side-by-side fridge has recently begun to make a fairly loud, one-to-two second whistle just as the compressor kicks on. Anything to worry about? Thx.
Is it possible to hear my neighbors heavy duty industrial fridge? It is in their garage on a slab of concrete. I do not hear it outside but I hear it in my house. I am wondering if the sound and vibration can travel through the ground?
Hi my hotpoibt fridge id 4 years old but most if these years i was traviling sometines i keep it on .. si dye to korona govd 19 had left ny flat fir almost 1 year the fridge was on .. now am stay in my flat since August and the compressor hammering noise is too high its written 48 dp i think this is too high for human ear .. so i think this noise is built in in this type of fridge .and this is worries me if i call the service center they ll charge me for changing fan or compressor and the result will be the same .

😂Ring a priest maybe

my fridge does the cracking banging. I'm so glad its not anything to worry about..
Mine is rattling really badly and driving me bonkers :( Gotta get me a man and a spirit level and quick!!

I jus moved into my house I thought the same until I heard it while I was standing by it
Lol
I can't believe that the sound my fridge started to make out of no where was just because it somehow got unleveled.
Thanks!

looking for an explanation for a Pillsbury Doughboy type sound after opening and closing the door
My fridge makes the "snoooooop" sounds from Drop It Like It's Hot intermittently about once every minute. Not a joke, what could it be?

This gave us all a laugh...At least you know what it is next time it happens
I hear noises from the fridge like someone is cutting my skull open with a saw
I’ve got a mini fridge in my bed room and it is super load, how can I fix this?
Try putting a softer material under the fridge like spare bedding, I did it with mine and it became SUPER quiet
This was quite helpful. Now I can rest easy.
Thank you I've finally found out what the noise is. But does the same apply for an old type fridge freezer. The . Ice cracking noise
Thx for this, I wanted to call an exorcist asap... Though we got like 5 poltergeists in our new kitchen xD
A mini fridge that I just plugged in is making a squeaky sound that sounds like squeaky boots rubbing together. Any idea what that could be?
Fridge sounds are just relaxing, don't every worry about weird sounds coming from your fridge.
My fridge started making funny noises this morning scared the fuck out of me turned it off scared it might cause a fire to blow up
You r very knowledgable but im going nuts with my fridge!
