Is there anything that can be done about a noisy fridge ?
The compressor ‘jingles’ when it is running.
Wouldn’t be a bother if the kitchen were a separate room.
But when the fridge is 8 feet away, in the same room, all day long…

Use proper prep and flashing details to install weathertight windows before the water-resistive barrier goes on.

Sounds like a loose screw or fitting or something that is vibrating when the motor runs.

I've been wondering about that.At some point, before I get it all loaded up, I intend to lay it down and have a look at the guts.I figure tight bolts, and maybe some rubber tape here and there just may fix the problem. Can't hurt.Posted here anyway, in case it turns out to be the com[pressor itself that is making the noise.

Don't lay it down and run it. The oil flows away from the compressor. You need to move it to the middle of the room and get down on your fat tummy and look in all the dark places. Hee hee ... that sounds kinky."Put your creed in your deed." Emerson

No way would I have laid it down, while it was plugged in.Nor would I plug it back in for at least half a day, afterward.

Ok, well at leasst be sure to take the milk and eggs out of the fridge before you flop it onto the floor."Put your creed in your deed." Emerson

Are you sure it is not the condensor fan? The fan and compressor run at the same time usually.
Any way it is the price you pay to stay close to the beer.(;-)

Minor hijack but funny story. My elderly aunt called me in a panic and said there was water all over her kitchen floor and appeared to be coming from fridge. I ran over, pulled it out checked icemaker, cold water, etc. Looked for condensate pan ( this one had no removable one). Could not find anything.
Looked at side of box and found water where there should be none. Looked on top and she had stored several reused milk jugs with well water from her sister's, one with a pinhole. I don't know who felt more stupid at that point.
