My fridge is mooing

I've checked. There is not a cow in there and there is also not also one of those bated biscuit tins that make animal noises at you.

My fridge is mooing. It doesn't matter how long it's been since I opened the door, it just mooing at me. I'm probably noticing it because we're isolating and I don't normally have to hide from the children in the kitchen during the day.
I showed my husband the miraculous mooing fridge and he had no suggestions or interest as to the cause of it...

So I leave it to the collective wisdom of Mumsnet. Has the spirit of a cow possessed my fridge? Is there some sort of cheeky fuckery going on? Or is it just plain broken?

Ominously, it has not made a sound whilst I've typed this after mooing all day.

Mine does a really good whale song!

I don’t have a mooing fridge, but I do have a new washing machine that makes a brief sad despairing wail as soon as it is switched on!
It always makes me laugh, it sounds like it is horrified at the prospect of having to actually wash some clothes.

My dishwasher sighs when I turn it on. Like 'oh not again'.

Boris Johnson is hiding in there.

In my old house we called the dishwasher Daisy because she mooed. Proper cow moo sounds, when she started we used to tell her it would all be ok.

My beko sounds like it is possessed it moans and groans all the time

delilahbucket · 31/01/2022 22:38

We have a cow behind our Beko too as well as a Lion in the sink that comes out when the dishwasher is on.

Mine does this!!! It used to drive me nuts, then I moved house and it stopped for a while and I missed it. When it started again I was so pleased! It’s not a constant noise, but a random mooing. I love it!

Oh my, these have made me chuckle!

It is a beko! Why is it so distressed? Does it know I thew away the aubergines I was given two months ago and failed to use?!

Bet it's a Beko? Ours does too, it's the auto-desfrost apparently

It currently sounds like it's in slow labour.
I'll keep you updated. Maybe I'll wake up to a baby beer fridge 😂

Mine cries. I usually just tell it everything will be OK and it stops.

Mine moos also, although I had never called it mooing or thought of it like that until now

Heaviestdirtyestsoul · 31/01/2022 23:25

Mine sounds like a content chicken that's crawing gently as it's scratching around for seed, has been known to bawk a few times. Always makes me chuckle

Doggydarling · 31/01/2022 23:29

Does it need milking? Maybe remove a few litres just to relieve it a little?

Guiltypleasures001 · 31/01/2022 23:29

Delighted to discover that I'm not the only one with a mooing Beko fridge

My fridge also moos.

This is obviously a thing

Codswallop20 · 01/02/2022 01:23

And my dishwasher plays T-rex when I turn it on.

JellyTots2009 · 01/02/2022 01:40

Mine hisses.
Every now and then it hisses. Like cold water hitting something hot

TerryChoc · 01/02/2022 03:42

Slightly disappointed in my kitchen appliances now 🥲 no animal sounds or needy cries

I wonder, is it all Beko fridges or just the double fridge/freezer with a water/wine holder in the middle?

Grenlei · 01/02/2022 10:19

My fridge makes a ribbit/ croaky noise like a frog.

Somewhat disconcerting when you're sitting quietly at the kitchen table late at night!
