Noisy Whirlpool fridge freezer - are they all?
 

We've just had a Whirlpool "american style" fridge/freezer delivered -
I'm surprised how noisy it is. Are they all noisy or have we got a duff one?

Our new frost-free f/f is noisier than I expected - it has fans running all
over the place! It is only fan noise though, no vibration or "dodgy motor"
noise.

If it's a tinny noise in sympathy with the vibration of the compressor
check that the narrow bore pipes aren't touching either each other or
the cabinet metalwork. If they are a piece of bath sponge can
fruitfully be utilised to keep the offending metal parts seperated.

After further investigation it seems to be fan noise; it stops if either
door is opened. It's started giving a temperature alarm every 30 mins or
so - I can feel a call to Comet welling-up from below.
