Why my Samsung RB194 Refrigerator is making unusual noises?

  Phyllis PageAug 15, 2025
  If you hear unusual noises coming from your Samsung Refrigerator, ensure it is level and stable. Also, check that the back of the refrigerator isn't too close to the wall, preventing air circulation. Ensure nothing has fallen behind or under the refrigerator. A ticking sound is normal due to accessories contracting or expanding with temperature changes. If you have an automatic ice maker, noises at regular intervals are also normal as ice is made and dispensed.
