Inglis Refrigerator is noisy or loud

If your Inglis refrigerator is noisy or loud, start by checking the fan blades — the evaporator fan behind the freezer back panel or the condenser fan under the unit often rub or catch debris and are the most common cause of a fridge making loud noise. Next likely is low house water pressure making the water inlet valve squeal or chatter, so check your kitchen faucet flow to rule that out. A failing evaporator fan motor can also produce loud or grinding sounds, especially when the door opens, and should be replaced if it does not run smoothly. Aging damper control assemblies can click or whine as the damper door opens and closes, and a unit that is not level will vibrate or rattle. Less commonly, noise near the ice maker during cycling points to a failing drive motor or module and may require replacing the whole ice maker assembly.

01 - Inglis Refrigerator Fan Blade

If the refrigerator is noisy or loud, especially when one of the doors are opened, either the evaporator or condenser fan blade may be at fault. First, check out the evaporator fan blade in the freezer behind the back panel. Try turning it by hand. If the fan blade does not turn freely, check to see if the blade is rubbing against something or if something is caught in the blade. Additionally, check the condenser fan blade in the back underside of the refrigerator to determine if it has any obstructions.

Highly Likely

02 - Low Water Pressure from House Supply

The home may have insufficient water pressure. The water inlet valve supplies water to the ice maker and low water pressure may cause the inlet valve to squeal or chatter. You can check the water flow at the kitchen faucet to help determine if the home's water pressure is sufficient or not.
Highly Likely

03 - Inglis Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor

When the evaporator fan motor in the freezer behind the rear panel fails, it often generates a lot of noise. This noise will be much louder when the refrigerator door is opened. If the evaporator fan is noisy, replace it.
Highly Likely

04 - Inglis Refrigerator Damper Control Assembly

On many refrigerator models, a damper control assembly is used to control the air flow from the freezer compartment to the refrigerator compartment to maintain the appropriate air temperature. The assembly accomplishes this by opening and closing a small door. As the damper control assembly ages, the action of opening and closing the damper door can become noisy or loud. If the damper control assembly has become increasing noisy, you can replace the old assembly with a new one.
Highly Likely

05 - Refrigerator not level

If the refrigerator is not level it can vibrate or rattle. Ensure the unit is level and stable on the floor. Most refrigerators' front legs or rollers are adjustable.
Highly Likely

06 - Inglis Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly

If a refrigerator is making a loud noise near the ice maker when the unit is cycling, it's likely that either the ice maker's drive motor or motor module is beginning to fail. While some of the ice maker components, such as the drive motor or module, may be sold separately for select models, you may need to purchase and replace the entire ice maker assembly.
