Have the same issue, our Insigna new fridge is making many diffrent sounds like "animals screaming". CAN the manufacturer explain why???
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, We also have a problematic sound with our fridge. Like the other commentator it sounds exactly like animals moaning or groaning. We "joke" that our fridge is possessed. It is a very unpleasant sound, not faint, and not one we could live with. We just bought this fridge new.. but it also has a dent in it.. and we are trying to figure out if the particular fridge is defective or if the brand line has something wrong with it. We were told by Best Buy to contact Insignia, but I feel this is a run around.. we bought from Best Buy, they should honour our purchase and be able to respond to the product. We are otherwise happy with the fridge and it was in our price range - but we don't want to have another Insignia delivered only to find out it has the same problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Haha! At least I can now laugh at my new refrigerator. Mine sounds like a newborn calf calling for its momma. I actually went outside earlier today expecting to see a cow in front of my house that had escaped from a nearby field. I was surprised to discover the source of the sound was my refrigerator. I just got it today, and I hope the sound is temporary. Gives a new meaning to the question "Got milk?"! ;)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don’t know the actual reason why the noise is there on our new INSIGNA fridge we also just purchased. It could be the compressor or fan ? Not sure but would be good to know if it will always have to make this noise. We were imagining all kinds of crazy scenarios! Kind of freaky but a good explanation and possible adjustment if needed would be very helpful:) So I type slow and while I wrote this, Best Buy is going to return my appliance since it is brand new and it is not yet known why the sounds is there. It is not a faint sound but it is consistent when motor kicks in. Thank you Best Buy! Our service on the selection, purchase, and delivery was excellent! Very satisfied customer
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We picked up this Fridge at a Best Buy Outlet. There were 3 others of the same brand make model that were also there. This should have been a tip off. Mine also makes wounded animal in the night noises. At first it make me laugh because it sounds like an upset Star Wars character, but because it does contain a level of discomfort to it’s call, it turns out to be one of those noises, like a crying baby or a whimpering pup, that you biologically cannot ignore. So since I will never get used to this noise, I will go through the hassle of taking back this fridge.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The "moaning" sound you mention appears to be VERY common as a LOT of people are mentioning the exact same thing! I can see your question was asked about 2.5 years ago. We have the same problem with the moaning, and we just bought our fridge in June 2021. Clearly the manufacturer has not tried to resolve the issue!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Maybe too late but we found our condenser fan had no screws holding it in. It was missing all three. Took it apart and haven't heard a peep out of it! Had to put my ear next to it to check it was running! It's behind the freezer doors, remove the back to find it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a similar issue with my brand new insignia fridge, makes me laugh reading all the comparisons to animal noises, I have a cat and I keep thinking it’s him talking to me, then I see him sleeping in the other room. I’m fairly sure it’s a design flaw and is common with the model, the meow noise is mostly right after I close the door, so it’s most likely air being vented.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's normal as the air is purged from the unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is the difference of the 200 dollars you save buying this brand mine is loud too but the pop is ice cold and the freezer works great i was worried when it ran load out of the box but i see similar comments so i know nothing is wrong with mine you get what you pay for as long as it performs like the name brands i can live with it and i might add i have a insignia chest freezer that ran noisy out of the box that was a year ago but still performs like the brand names so no complaints here
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
