Hi Folks and thanks for reading this.... I have a Hotpoint fridge...aproximately 17 cubic ft bought brand new in 1996. When this fridge 'kicks out' there is a couple of bangs comes out of it...I mean LOUD...wish I could describe it to you. It happens about three times a day (that I have noticed)....I haven't even pulled the fridge away from the wall...so what do I look for when I DO yank it away from the wall???? ...I have noticed different times that there is a vibration comming from the top of the fridge as I see stuff vibrating from it (Cards on top of the fridge) ....Do I call Maytag or call for an excersism?...LOL...
THERE!!!!!!!..it just did it again as I type this message....scared me out of my wits...been doing this for about two months now...gives a very brief shake sounds like something came loose or something is out of balance and lasts for about 1/2 second...I think I'll try the priest first before calling a repair man as my presence has been accounted for in the past year so maybe I'll get a deal... My question is this......is there any moving parts that will go unbalanced or lose that would cause such a vibration?...if so...where do I find it? Thanks and God Bless.... Jim
