Clicking Fridge (by 3 users)

posted by axw721 on Nov 01, 2007


I have a 3 to 4 year old Kenmore fridge.  To date there doesn't seem to be any problem with the fridge working properly; everything stays cold in the fridge and frozen in the freezer.  However, over the last couple of weeks we have noticed that it has been making a clicking noise.  Every few minutes it sounds like it's clicking on and then right after it clicks right back off.  It does this quite frequently and occasionally it makes a bit of a thud noise.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a GE Profile Arctica PSS29MG, I'm also getting a clicking noise, 4 to 10 clicks every 5 or 10 min. The noise is coming from the back right corner, behind the water filter. Every thing seems to be working.

Ideas?

The clicking noise does not go away if I turn to minimum the two knobs to ajust the temperature. No solution?

I used to have a whirlpool fridge, they are the ones who make kenmore too. It used to make a loud thud noise. It was the compressor turning off. sometimes it was loud enough to wake me up at night. It did this for years and I never had any problems with it. when I purchased a larger fridge I sold it to a friend and its still working today. If you can tolerate the noise I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts giving you trouble.
