Cracking and Popping Noise

Question

What causes the cracking and popping noise in my refrigerator?

 

Answer

  • Refrigerator may produce cracking and popping noise during its regular operations, which are normal.
     
  • These sounds can be attributed to the cabinet material expanding and contracting when the fridge enters Auto Defrost mode, causing the interior refrigerator coils to heat up and prevent frost buildup (occurs once every 48 hours).
     
  • Rapid temperature fluctuations cause specific components within the fridge to flex, generating the loud popping and cracking sounds.
