Hotpoint RFA52 xx Making Banging noises?

Hi there everyone.

My Hotpoint RFA52 xx Fridge freezer is being rather worrying at the moment.
It is working just fine at the moment *touch wood* but it is making a terrible noise.

It’s a really loud banging noise lasting between about 3 seconds to 5/6 seconds approx.

It’s never made this sound before so I’m worried something is about to conk out and I’d rather fix it now before we lose all our food.

I’m not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure but I think the noise is coming from the top of the machine.
I have been researching this for a few days now and don’t have a complete conclusion but think it might be the fan?
Unfortunately I don’t know where it actually is to check, it’s not behind at the bottom with the compressor.

I have re-secured the compressor in case it was vibrating and making the noise but the noise hasn’t changed.

So, what’s the verdict?
What should I buy and how do I find said part in this model?

Thank you for any help.
