Brilio.net - Refrigerators have become one of the appliances that are always present in every home. The cold temperature produced by the refrigerator is very useful for storing food so that it lasts longer. Therefore, if there is even the slightest damage to the refrigerator, it can affect the quality of the stored food.
Even so, it is undeniable that many refrigerator owners still face problems when using this appliance. One of them is the emergence of a buzzing sound in the refrigerator. When hearing this sound, many people think the refrigerator is damaged and must be serviced immediately.
Before taking it to a repairman, you can look further into the cause and how to quickly handle it. This was once done by the owner of the TikTok account @amgsarman. Through one of the videos uploaded, this repairman explained the cause of the refrigerator buzzing.
"This is because the room temperature or the refrigerator is open, so the compressor automatically turns on. But after the temperature is reached, the compressor will turn off by itself," said TikTok @amgsarman as quoted by BrilioFood on Tuesday (3/12).

A humming sound in a refrigerator that comes from the compressor usually occurs because this component pumps refrigerant through the cooling system, creating a circulation of cold air inside the refrigerator. A compressor that is starting to wear out or has mechanical damage can produce a louder humming sound than usual.
The humming noise often becomes more intense when the compressor is working harder to keep the refrigerator at a stable temperature, especially if there are additional problems such as a dirty condenser fan or poor refrigerant circulation. But if the refrigerator is still new and in good condition, this problem can be fixed quickly, even in 1 minute.
TikTok user @amgsarman claims that temperature control can help reduce the loud humming sound in the refrigerator. So, you don't have to bother dismantling the refrigerator first.

The method is quite easy, you only need to increase the temperature of the refrigerator to the highest level. After that, wait for the refrigerator to cool completely evenly so that the compressor stops working, so that the humming sound also subsides. Only then lower the temperature until it returns to normal as before.

This method will work immediately when all the components of the refrigerator machine are still in good condition. A refrigerator that is functioning normally should work with a low and consistent sound. However, when the buzzing sound starts to sound louder than usual, this could be an indication of a component that is not functioning properly.
To overcome this problem, it is important to perform regular checks and maintenance on the refrigerator. Cleaning the condenser fan periodically can help reduce the buzzing sound. If the problem persists, it is best to call a professional technician to check and repair any components that may be damaged. With proper maintenance, the refrigerator can return to working optimally without making disturbing sounds, ensuring that food stays fresh and lasts.
