Fridge Making Noise?
New Buzzing, Clicking or Rattling From the Fridge?
A gentle hum, gurgle and the odd click are normal for a fridge. A new buzz, grinding fan, rattle or repeated clicking usually means a fan catching on ice, a worn fan motor, loose compressor mounts or a starting relay. Our technicians find the source on site in Harare.

Why Is My Fridge Suddenly Noisy?
New noises usually come from a fan blade catching on ice, a fan motor bearing wearing out, the compressor rocking on tired rubber mounts, the drip tray or a pipe rattling against the cabinet, or the starting relay clicking as it tries to start the compressor. Our fridge repairs technicians run the fridge and pinpoint which one it is.
A repeated click with a warm cabinet usually means the relay, and we test the compressor, relay and start components before recommending any part. If cooling has also dropped, read about fridge regassing from US$30, after diagnosis, or book a repair and send a short video of the sound.
Noises People Commonly Report
Buzzing louder than before
Often a fan motor wearing out or the compressor working hard.
Clicking every few minutes
The starting relay trying to start the compressor.
Rattling or vibrating
A loose drip tray, panel or pipe, or the fridge standing unevenly.
Grinding or scraping
A fan blade catching on ice behind the freezer panel.
Knocking at start or stop
Compressor mounts or a pipe moving as the motor starts.
Common Sources of Fridge Noise
These are the usual sources of a new noise.
- Fan blade catching on ice
- Worn evaporator or condenser fan motor
- Starting relay clicking
- Loose drip tray, panel or pipe
- Worn compressor mounts
- Fridge 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.
What to Note Before the Visit
Note when the sound happens: all the time, only when the fridge starts, or only from the freezer side. A 20-second phone video with the door closed helps us bring the right part. Check that the fridge stands level and that nothing on top of it is vibrating.
If the fridge is also warm, mention it when you book. Noise and poor cooling together usually point to a fan or the relay, which we test together.
How We Trace Fridge Noise
The technician runs the fridge, listens at the back, inside the freezer and at the compressor, then checks fans, mounts, panels and the relay. We fix the source of the noise and check that cooling is normal before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fridge Making Noise
What fridge noises are normal?
A low hum while the compressor runs, a gurgle or hiss from the refrigerant and a click when the thermostat switches are all normal. A new, much louder, grinding or rattling noise is worth checking.
Why does my fridge keep clicking?
A click every few minutes with a warm cabinet is usually the starting relay failing to start the compressor. It is a common, inexpensive repair. See fridge compressor problems.
Why is my fridge buzzing loudly?
A worn fan motor or a compressor working hard are the usual causes. Check there is space behind the fridge and the condenser is not thick with dust, then book a visit if the buzz continues.
Is a noisy fridge dangerous?
Usually not, but switch it off if you smell burning or see smoke. Otherwise keep it running so the technician can hear the noise on the visit.
