If the incessant noise of your refrigerator is disturbing the peace in your home, don't worry. To fix this common problem, you need to determine the root cause of excessive noise. UAportal has prepared three proven life hacks to help make your refrigerator quieter.

Proper placement

The refrigerator should not be tightly pressed against furniture such as bedside tables or cabinets. Providing enough space around the appliance significantly reduces noise levels. Also, make sure that the refrigerator is on a flat surface.

Transportation bolts and fan

Another important step is to check the refrigerator for shipping bolts. These are often overlooked during installation, but can become loose over time, leading to increased noise levels. Tightening or unscrewing the bolts can significantly improve the situation.

However, the most common source of noise is a dirty fan. Regular cleaning of both the internal components of the refrigerator and the appliance itself can help optimize its performance and effectively reduce sound levels.

Proper maintenance

Implementing consistent maintenance is essential to preventing excessive noise in general. In addition to regular cleaning and defrosting, pay special attention to the fan.
