The refrigerator may sound loud if their coils or fans are dirty. If you hear a squeaking sound from your fridge, make use of the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner, a rag, and dish soap or water and warm water to clean the coils and fan. This should be done at least twice every year or more often when your refrigerator is old or heavily used.
Clicking
Frigs may also make a clicking sound typically caused by ice accumulation around the freezer fan. This issue can be fixed by a manual defrost but is likely to occur again until the issue is resolved by a service expert.
If you hear clicking, turn the refrigerator back on. The sound could also be caused by the Ice maker if you have one attached to your fridge, so be sure to ensure that it's turned off when you don't require continuous ice.
The hum of your refrigerator is normal, and it can be a bit louder during certain periods of the day or following large quantities of stock or fridge-freezer freezing processes. This is because the refrigerator needs to work harder and faster in order to keep your food cold however it isn't a sign of a problem with the refrigerator or its performance.
Dust
Dust from the household is an ideal habitat for bacteria, dirt and other microorganisms, and also traces of household chemical exposures. The tiny particles can be breathed in and elicit allergic reactions, and provide a perfect surface for microbes to colonize including those that could cause infections if they come into contact with a wound.
It's impossible to clean a fridge completely but regular cleaning can reduce the accumulation of dust and keep the temperature stable. A dirty fridge is a waste of energy due to overheating, and is inefficient. If you suspect that your refrigerator is producing louder sounds than normal, or is running out of power due to overworking it is it time to call in the professionals.
Dust does not drift into the air from outside as is often believed. It contains resuspended dirt from your home, which can be contaminated with lead or other toxicants. It also contains pollen, mold, and car exhaust. It also retains legacy pollutants such as DDT that were banned half a century ago.
Some compounds, like flame retardants, such as decabromodiphenylether, volatilize into the air. However, the majority of substances found in dust originate from objects that are thrown off, for example, electronic equipment. High-molecular-weight substances, such as surfactants used in cleaners and paint strippers, also migrate directly into dust.
In addition to contaminating food items in the refrigerator, a dusty fridge can also negatively affect your health. It can contain allergens, such as pet dander or cockroach droppings that can cause asthma attacks and allergic reactions. It also contains bacteria spores, like staphylococcus aureus, which could cause infection if they make their way into an open wound.
Researchers have found that contaminated dust is associated with a wide variety of health issues such as cancer, cardiovascular disease leukemia, and inflammatory intestinal diseases. Recent research showed that the dust in the homes of children suffering from leukemia had higher levels PCBs, PBDEs, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Condenser Coils
When refrigerators are running correctly, the coils on the back and front of the appliance are supposed to be able to disperse the heat generated by the compressor. But when these radiator-like parts are covered in dust, pet hair or lint, the compressor will work continuously trying to cool the fridge and eventually wears down the appliance. It is important to clean your coils regularly.
If you're looking to tackle the job yourself It is recommended that you unplug the refrigerator and switch off the power source prior to beginning. This will decrease the chance that you or your family members could be electrocuted while working on the appliance. If you're allergic to dust it is a good idea for you to wear a face mask. You'll then have to find the coils. They are usually located on the back of the fridge or at the front across the base of some models. Consult your fridge's manual or contact the manufacturer if don't know where they are.
Once you have found the coils, you will have to take off the access panel, if there's one and then alternate between vacuuming the coils with a narrow hose attachment and then brushing them with a condenser brush to clean the coils. It's important to take your time when doing this so that you don't bend or damaging the coils. Replace the kick panel, or push the refrigerator into position, then plug it in.
If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, then you can always employ an expert. It's less expensive and easier to keep up the routine of cleaning to prevent the issue from occurring.
Maintenance
Fridges are hard-working appliances that keep running throughout the day and night to cool your food. To help them do their job effectively, they need regular maintenance. Simple preventive maintenance will ensure that your machines run smoothly for many years.
A simple task is clean the door seals. Jelly and other sticky foods can accumulate and block the gaskets from securing tightly and allowing cool air to escape through tiny cracks. Wipe them down by putting baking soda and warm water on a toothbrush or sponge every few months.
The fan in the rear of the refrigerator is a different location to look at. It could be noisy if it's clogged up with insulation, paper or even mice. Unplug the fridge, take out all shelves and then take out any removable parts. Vacuum cleaners with hose attachments can be used to clean the coils and the surrounding area. Be sure to turn the fridge off when you're done.
It is recommended to check your owner's guide for information on where to find the coils, the fan and what tools for cleaning you might require. It is also recommended to go through the warranty to make sure you know what's covered.
