My refrigerator started making loud popping noises after about 5 months. Was told noises are normal.

Don't believe anything they tell you. The worst is yet to come. Didn't get an extended warranty and have had nothing but one thing after another...but no popping. I've had freezer thaw problems, ice dispenser, water dispenser, ice forming in under freezer - I don't have much hope the thing will last too long. Be ready to fight with them.

No. My haan does make a slight popping noise while it's heating in the first couple minutes

Mine has a very quiet but high pitched whine when the compressor is on. But nobody else seems to have this problem, so either my freezer is unique in this or I'm way oversensitive to noise.

My rotisserie makes quite a bit of noise also. It does cook well so I guess it's a trade-off. My dishwasher makes a lot of noise (10 yrs old) but I use it anyway.

I bought a new fridgedare in 2012. Broke already and of course no warranty. Used it in my basement only in the summer in Michigan. Buying Danby now.

It started out very quiet and has gradually gotten a little louder, but it is still fairly quiet. It is about as loud as my refrigerator for comparison.

It made a general hum, like any fridge, but not what I would call "loud." More importantly; mine stopped working after about 1 month. That would be my biggest concern.

We had a very similar problem with ours as well. It is a great freezer and exceeds any other cheap freeze we have had over the years. When the windings inside the motor start to come apart or a bearing goes out, they start to squeal like you describe. We actually took our motor into an electric motor winding shop and he replaced all of the internal windings for about $60. The unit is working like new again. They can probably do the same if a bearing is going out. Hope this helps! It will probably be cheaper than buying a new motor.

Hi Patricia...I had the same thing happen to mine but the high pitched noise eventually occurred on all of the speeds. It was not constant...it would come and go but it was very annoying. Couldn't figure out a way to get into the unit to see what was going on. Seemed to me to be some sort of lubrication issue. In any event we really liked the air purifier so we just purchased a new one. It works great and it's one of the least expensive on the market.

Check out Consumer Reports. They also said this is a great rerigerator except for the noise. The noise kept it from being the number one pick. BTW, we just got our new Samsung french door counter depth rerigerator. It is "Whisper" quiet. You have to actually listen to tell if it is running.

I have just received a couple and as soon as I put them in over the sink, they started making popping noises. Did you ever find out if they were defective?

I personally wouldn't recommend that as this fridge runs almost non stop in my house. I am concerned about the longevity of the fridge in my house.

Mine is a different sounding fridge, but not really louder, I believe it is mostly fan noise not compressor noise. But ... make sure that you have at least 2" of air gap in the back. It is such a big unit it is tempting to push it back as far as you can. The better air flow you have over the back the less sound you hear.

as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry". as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and... » Read More as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable.the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on.the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry". « Show Less

The only noise I hear is ice dropping to the tray. Best investment I ever made. I DO NOT use tap water like it says, I use bottled water. Our tap water would probably kill the machine in a month.

It should not be beeping. If it does when you plugged it in for the first time I wonder whether your refrigerator startup surge is triggering it to alarm and start that beeping you are getting. Have you tried to unplug it wait a minute or so and then rep lug it back into the wall outlet before you plug your refrigerator back into it? The only other suggestion is to go to RCA customer service we page and submit a question. Their website page is http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/support/?kw=PSAPP1R

Yes, I have this model, and it makes the popping noises after it has been on for a short time. With mine, it goes away after the TV has been on for a while. It made them a few times after I turned it off as well.
