My fridge is making some loud clicking noises when the condensors turn on now. It just started recently (last 2 weeks). I know the power company has been replacing the underground lines and boxes/transformers in my development.

:construction:

Is this just normal wear and tear? Could a power surge or something damaged the fridge? There were a few scheduled power outages due to the work.

Considering the age of the fridge (21 yrs)... I don't want it to burn up or something!
:spaz:

Please advise..

Thanks :)

P.S. Meanwhile my beer is still cold in the fridge! :party:

Am i understanding correctly that you topped off the r12 charge with 134a? If so, im amazed its working, that is a major nono. The oils used with r12 and 134a aren't compatible with each other. The noise may be the compressor/s falling apart from the bad mix

What do you mean by falling apart? Do you mean there is something mechanically wrong (parts breaking/not working) or physically wrong with the integrity of the tubing, compressor walls, etc. ?

:shock:

i cant say for sure because ive never tried mixing refrigerants like that, but i imagine it would be hard on the bearings inside the compressor. you really should try to pin down where the sound is coming from
