To think my fridge is haunted?

It could be the cupboard next to the fridge. Now and then, there is a strange intermittent sound of snoring, or rasping breath, basically like someone snoring really loudly, coming from the wall behind the cupboard. It is not scary, more comical. It can happen day or night. The room next door is our sitting room, and no, it is not dh asleep. No one else has ever heard it. I need to get dh to come and stand there, for hours, until it happens again. Opinions please on what it could be.

I have a Zanussi, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher and washing machine, they all make bizarre noises.

It usually means that it is over working, may need defrosting. If it is free standing pull a little further away from the wall to allow the air to circulate.
If there is a drainage hole inside make sure it is not blocked.

Our fridge makes that rasping noise too!

My fridge makes funny snoring noises too. It also chucks food out at me when I open it! I swear, it lobbed out some tomatoes which were right at the back, so it was not a case of them being on the edge of the shelf and just falling out! My husband has had a bottle of milk thrown out too. Damn thing iss possessed. Does anyone know how you get a fridge exorcised???

My fridge is a Beko, it talks to itself. No idea what it's saying but its very noisy.

Have you noticed this doesn't seem to happen with SMEG fridges at all?

Stanley - things do leap out of my fridge all the time, but dh says it is because I do not pack it in an orderly enough fashion. Hmm

That's because all SMEG appliances break after 6 months so they don't make noises as they don't work! Grin

do they really?

And the WORST customer service in the whole world . FACT!

this thread has not only reassured me about my weird fridge noises but relieved me of my expensive fridge aspirations. I'm a winner all round. Grin
