How to Fix A Noisy Fridge.

In an earlier blog, (“Noisy drink Fridge”,) I mentioned a few ways to solve the problem of a, “surprise, surprise”, noisy fridge!. One of my American friends sent me another more novel way to solve the problem and so I now share it with you.

“Walter: The noise you hear on a disfunctional fridge could be shut up by turning on the radio to a fairly loud music station. Then you won't hear the noise. This is what a lot of people are doing in America...They avoid believing they have any problems, just fill up their lives with fake stuff and think everything is okay. They ignore the "noise" and carry on, as nothing is wrong. The older they get, the more broken down they get, the more worn out, the more dysfunctional and finally they have no good use to society.”

What about you and I? I know very few of us would actually do that and turn up the Radio, but how many of us to that figuratively, all the time. We tend to try and ignore the “Noisy Fridges” around us and convince ourselves that it isn’t really noisy, just loud. We think that if we ignore them, then they will either go away or someone else will fix them before they go completely Ker plunk.

Occasionally that will happen and someone else will fix it, but more often than not, every one has the same idea of leaving it to someone else and of course no one does anything and finally a thing that often could have been repaired and relatively cheaply at that, is irretrievably lost or damaged beyond re-claim. Just like my noisy fridge, although I did try to do something about it before hand. Just not “before hand” enough, that’s all. Don’t you be guilty of the same mistake!

So in closing, what are your “Noisy fridges”? And what can, and will, you do about them, now before it is too late?

Good post regarding noise in refrigerator. Mostly the noise is due to the cooling fan. I am a technician working in samsung service center and posts like these are very useful for people like us to upgrade ourselves.
