Mini Fridges

[Visitor Q]

Right, i got a mahoosive minifridge just over a week ago.

It was making the odd funny noise. Usual fridge noises. Kinda like a whurr and then cork popping noises.

Thats not a problem.

The thing thats started to worry me a tad is its starting to sound like i have a hamster cage at the foot of my bed. Scratching, clicking, popping etc.

Now the only things i can think of, is not enough air space at the back (theres about an inch) or too much and crap is falling down it... ?

Anyone know any big no-nos with big fridges? Its not a shitty argos thing, its a proper bar sized stella beastie. Its about half a meter cube.

i think they are just noisy buggers.
we dont usualy notice it when they are in the kitchen, but put one in a very quiet bedroom and it wont shut up.

Our fridge complains with noise if it's not absolutely dead level front to back and side to side.

[it really is that quick]

when you turned it on for the first time in ur room had you left it so the gas could settle after you moved it. Fridges can be really funny if they've been moved and the refridgerant has got bubbles in it.

turn it off for a few hours (3-4) and then turn back on, should still keep contents cold if you dont open the door.

I've got a mini fridge thing, it makes noises like those a couple of times a day. Solution is to hit it. Hit it firmly on the top, couple of times with reasonable force and it's usually shutup.

If after hitting it a few times it's still making noise then try picking it up about a foot off the ground and dropping it.. Probably not very good for the fridge but if hitting it doesn't work the only thing available to try is dropping it.

Dunno if this is how you're meant to fix fridges but it works for me.

I think turning the fridge down will just prolong run time, you may reach a colder temp inside but it shall run for longer and if it is clicking out because it is hot and/or we have liquid return it may not be the best thing for it really. In the long run it may damage the compressor.

I guess best thing to do is make sure all is clear around it and leave a big air gap all round if possible, maybe a minimum of six inches, if that helps none then it will get a little more complicated.
We shall need to measure internal temp, hot coil temp and liquid line/suction line temperature, ambient air to try work out pressures and stuff..

I haven't seen many husky fridge so am a little unclear of exact design, but tbh, they are all much alike minus one or two items.... l

fingers crossed it just needs some air.

As said before you should always leave a fridge to settle before powering up,we always recommended 6 hours to be safe ,swith it off for a while and it may be better when you start it up again.

So it's a mini fridge, but it's massive?

How big is a mini fridge before it comes a fridge?
