Frigidaire

 

    They put it right in the manual.  The refrigerator will make noise.

 

    We bought it new.  We had not yet read the manual and so were very surprised at the amount of noise coming from this thing.  I’m not talking about a little noise from the cooling fan in the back, or a slight hum from the motor.  We were hearing screams and moans.  There were sounds like it was about to lift off and head for the moon.

 

    It has been three years now and it still surprises us at the variety of disturbing sounds coming from this refrigerator.  Anyone over here visiting us thinks we have squirrels trapped inside of it.  Yet another handy sound is the icemaker.  It clunks quite loudly around the clock.  Fortunately, and for some unknown reason, we are able to sleep through the clunking.

 

    I expect it was much cheaper to simply add a sentence into the manual than to design and build a quiet system.


    I'm just saying...

I agree however mine is not that noisy except for the ice cube maker. Scares me to death when it drops the newly frozen cubes. My major complaint lies with the water filler. Trying to fill up a bottle you need to put on your glasses, turn on the kitchen light and bend over to see the tiny hose to make sure it is inside the bottle. And then get paper towels to wipe water off the fridge and floor.🙃 Flaw in design
