Freezer Making a Strange Noise?
Buzzing, Clicking, Rattling or Unusual Freezer Sounds?
A steady hum and the odd click are normal for a freezer. A new rattle, grinding fan, loud buzz or repeated clicking usually means a fan blade touching ice, a loose panel, a failing fan motor or a starting relay. Our technicians find the source on site in Harare.

Are Freezer Noises Normal?
A low hum while the compressor runs, a gentle gurgle from the refrigerant and a click when the thermostat switches are all normal. A sound that is new, much louder or grinding is worth a visit, especially when the freezer is also losing temperature.
Clicking every few minutes with no cooling usually points to the starting relay, which is a quick repair. Scraping from inside a frost-free model is often the fan blade catching on ice. Our freezer repairs technicians find the source, shop and display freezers are covered by commercial refrigeration, and you can book a repair with a short video of the sound.
What Noise Is Your Freezer Making?
Buzzing
Often the compressor working hard or a fan motor near the end of its life.
Clicking every few minutes
The starting relay trying to start the compressor.
Rattling
A loose panel, drain tray or pipe touching the cabinet.
Grinding or scraping
A fan blade catching on ice or a worn fan bearing.
Knocking at start or stop
Compressor mounts or a pipe moving as the motor starts.
High-pitched whine
A fan motor or an inverter compressor under heavy load.
Common Causes of Freezer Noise
- Fan blade catching on ice
- Worn evaporator or condenser fan motor
- Starting relay clicking
- Loose panel, tray or pipe
- Worn compressor mounts
- Freezer standing on an uneven floor
When to stop using the appliance
Switch the appliance off at the wall if you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparking, exposed wiring, repeated breaker trips or water near electrical parts. Leave electrical covers, high-voltage parts and the sealed refrigeration system to a technician, then call or WhatsApp 0719 227 718 and we will arrange an assessment.
When a Noise Should Be Checked
Book a visit if the sound has changed suddenly, carries on for long periods, or comes with weaker freezing or tripping. A 20-second phone video of the noise, recorded with the door closed, helps us bring the right part.
How We Trace Freezer Noise
The technician listens to when the sound happens, then checks the fans, mounts, panels and ice inside the cabinet. We test the starting relay and compressor if the clicking comes with poor cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Freezer Making Noise
Why does my freezer keep clicking?
A click every few minutes, with the cabinet warming, is usually the starting relay failing to start the compressor. It is a common and inexpensive repair. A single click when the freezer switches on or off is normal.
Is a humming freezer normal?
Yes. A steady low hum while the compressor runs is normal. A much louder hum, buzzing or vibration that is new is worth checking, especially if cooling has changed.
Why does my freezer make a scraping noise?
On frost-free models it is usually the fan blade catching on ice that has built up around it. That ice points to a defrost or seal fault, which we fix along with freeing the fan.
My freezer is noisy and not freezing well. Is it the compressor?
Sometimes, but fans and starting relays cause the same pair of symptoms far more often. We test all three on site before recommending a repair. See freezer compressor problems.
