The refrigerator can sometimes cause inconvenience with its noise. If you want to make your refrigerator quiet, then these tips and tricks from an experienced master will come in handy.
Check the rubber seals
The rubber seals on the refrigerator doors serve to prevent cold air from getting out and warm air from getting in.
If they are worn out, cracked or torn off, the refrigerator will operate intermittently and make unnecessary noise.
Check the condition of the seals and replace them with new ones if necessary.
Clean the condenser and fan
The condenser and fan are located on the back wall of the refrigerator. They are responsible for cooling the compressor and removing heat.
Over time, dust, dirt, and hair can accumulate on them, which can impair their performance and increase noise. Clean the condenser and fan regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
Place the refrigerator on a level surface.
The refrigerator must stand on a level and solid surface so that it does not wobble or vibrate.
If the refrigerator is placed on an uneven floor, it may make loud noises when operating.
Make sure the refrigerator is installed horizontally and does not touch the walls or other objects. You can use special stands or adjustable feet to level the refrigerator.
Don't overload the refrigerator
The refrigerator should not be overfilled with food, as this interferes with air circulation and increases the load on the compressor.
If the refrigerator is overloaded, it will turn on and off more often, which will lead to increased noise and energy consumption.
Try not to fill the refrigerator more than 80% full or block the vents.
Use soundproofing material
If you want to make your refrigerator even quieter, you can use soundproofing material such as foam, mineral wool or polyurethane foam.
You can stick it on the back of the refrigerator or place it behind the refrigerator. This will help reduce the noise that comes from the compressor and fan. But be careful not to block the vents and disrupt the heat dissipation.
