Fridge Making a Loud Noise? Same-Day Refrigerator Repair in Ottawa & Gatineau
A fridge that buzzes, hums loudly, rattles, or knocks is usually a worn evaporator or condenser fan, a failing compressor mount, or the defrost system — most are affordable fixes, not a dead fridge. B&M provides same-day refrigerator repair across Ottawa & Gatineau, TSSA-certified and factory-authorized since 1995.
Book online or call (613) 301-0016 — same-day service when available.
Common causes of a noisy refrigerator
- Worn evaporator fan motor. A failing freezer fan often makes a loud whirring or grinding noise, especially when the door is open.
- Noisy condenser fan. Dust or a worn condenser fan motor at the back or bottom causes rattling or buzzing.
- Failing compressor or mounts. Loud humming or knocking can come from the compressor or its rubber mounts breaking down.
- Defrost system noise. Loud knocking or popping during the defrost cycle points to a defrost component, not normal operation.
- Unlevel unit or vibration. A fridge that is not level, or touching the wall or cabinet, can amplify normal vibration into a loud rattle.
