[LG refrigerator sound] The refrigerator is making a noise (pop, popping, click)

Troubleshooting

Do you sometimes hear a “click”, “crack”, or “pop” sound?

Those noises are normal sounds made by plastic parts such as shelves expanding or contracting when the temperature inside the refrigerator changes as the cooling motor (compressor) operates.
At this time, various sounds such as “click”, “crack”, “pop” may be heard from the inside walls and shelves.
The sound may seem louder, especially during quiet hours or late at night.
It is a sound made when internal parts contract and expand as a result of temperature and pressure, and it typically happens in recently purchased products.
However, the sound may lessen over time.
Also, even if the product has been used for some time, noise may be generated depending on the temperature changes and environment.
