HELP -- My Frigidaire Fridge is Making a Loud Popping Noise

by Tom H.
(BC, Canada)

Four or five time a day we hear a fairly loud popping sound from our Frigidaire side by side fridge. I have checked to see if I could see anything which may cause this but found nothing.

Please let me know what might be causing this. I want to know if I have a major problem or if it is just expansion or some thing to do with the ice maker.

 The popping is torture
by: Jen

I was under the gun to buy a new fridge because my old one died. I went with a Frigidaire and it is making the exact same horrible popping noise. I describe it as a musical chipmunk. It's been making the noise since day one, but I foolishly thought it would go away.

Now, I've been around a lot of refrigerators in my day, and none make this horrid noise. The repair guy also claimed it is normal. How can Frigidaire not have fixed this issue yet?!

 Fan is NOT Running If Its Hot
by: Anonymous

I figured out why it was hot in the middle of the side by side Frigidaire. The fan was stuck that cools the coils on the back.

One of the blades was bent ordered new fan blade $4.97. Easy to fix if the compressor is still good if not that is $1000.00.

 Re: Our Fridgidaire Fridge is Making the Same Loud Popping Noise!!
by: Anonymous

We have the same issue -- our Frigidaire fridge is making the same loud popping noise!!

It's a brand new fridge,just plugged it in and there's a popping noise every compressor cycle. It lasts for approx 10 seconds, but it happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We were told it is Freon expansion! The compressor is just a pump and pushes the gas through the refrigeration lines. For some reason some Frigidaire models are noisy.

We had a technician over and we were told its normal. That's crap!

I've worked in HVAC on compressors, chillers, air conditioners, cooling towers, heat pumps and have never heard those types of noises coming from 134a gases.

We ended up taking the fridge back and are now buying a different brand of refrigerator.

I only wish I would have found this website before we made the mistake of purchasing our first and last Frigidaire product.

We have the same clicking/popping noise when the compressor cycles on. Its been happening since it was new and service tells us its normal.

Very annoying when it can be heard throughout our home.

 We have the same problem!!
by: Jan-Texas

My Mom bought a Fridgidaire side by side in May and she is so irritated by the popping noise that she takes out her hearing aids so it won't bother her.

I talked with Lowe's and they denied knowing of any such problem and since it is past the 60 day time limit, there is nothing they can do.

I am not sure what options she has except to either live with it--she lives in a small apt. and the kitchen adjoins her living room. Or, buy a new one.

HELP!
