One of the most common things that people worry about is a sound of grinding or clattering. This generally comes out of the ice maker. The fact is simple: Ice cubes can be noisy, especially when they are falling into a cold, hollow, plastic tray. The machinery that actually makes the ice also moves, which can cause additional noise.

If the grinding and/or clattering is occasional, then it is likely just your ice maker making ice. If it is louder, the sound is jagged, or it has started when it used to be silent, then it may be time to take out your ice maker and clean it. If that and a defrost cycle doesn’t fix the issue, contact Authorized Appliance Repair at (833) 220-1666 for help.

This is a situation that warrants a call to your local appliance repair company .
