My old refrigerator died recently, so I shopped for a replacement. My needs were simple: Smudge-free stainless steel, check. Water dispenser in the door, check. Icemaker, check. A reasonable price, check. It was delivered shortly after and I was pleased, until I went to bed…
That’s when my kitchen sounded like the Gaza strip or perhaps the Iceland volcano when it erupts. The noise was so outrageous I first thought a blind burglar had stumbled into the house.
I’ve never encountered such an issue before although, granted, I haven’t bought many refrigerators in my lifetime. Should I have added quiet to my search list? Does anyone else own an appliance that sounds like an avalanche?

too funny we did this last thanksgiving when appliances are all supposed to fail
The two 20’s brothers who share the next unit, had us over to show-off. Their stainless refrigerator was more than smudge-free. You could comb your hair in the reflection. Later, the son bought us one as a present. It now looks like he got it at a street sale in the Ukraine. 😉 😮
You have a nice neighbor! I bet the icemaker is extremely quiet, too.
It was when it worked. The wife spent $200Cdn to have a plumber run a water line to it. After a couple of years, it quit making ice, and she spent another $200 to have it repaired. After another couple of years, it stopped again, and she spent another $200 to have a serviceman come out and tell us that it’s no longer repairable. 😮
