My zanussi ZFC-25 fridge seems to make quite a loud sounding motor noise which keeps going on and off all the time. Is this normal? Originally I thought it was due to the temperature being too cold making it work harder but now that I’ve lowered it and it’s still happening then obviously not. I can’t seem to upload a video here but hope you can help without, if you have email/WhatsApp then I don’t mind sending it that way. Please let me know
what do you mean by going on and off all the time? Do you mean it runs and then there is a click noise then after 5 mins it restarts then runs for 15 secs then clicks off and the repeating cycle of events continues? If so that is usually a compressor relay or the alternative start PTC device or more usually the actual compressor has a fault. A normal running compressor should make no noise other than a subued motor noise. BUT what you can get is pipe work vibration which is annoying and if so you have to trace which offending 2 pipes are vibrating together and stick a piece of cardboard between the two ( that is the easiest/safest way rather than bending pipes away from each other) and since the compressor is rubber mouted these can disintergrate over time and can cause a compressor to vibrate on its X beam.
