“My new LG fridge has been installed for just under 24 hours and the inner parts keep "gurgling." The noise ends when I open the door and the compressor kicks on but then the noise returns as soon as the compressor kicks off. Is there a fix?”

Hi there, Bazwell. Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding your LG LTCS20020S Top Freezer Refrigerator. The "gurgling" noise you’re hearing is likely the refrigerant flow inside the refrigerator, which is completely normal. Refrigerators, including LG models, often make this sound as the refrigerant circulates through the system. The noise typically occurs when the compressor cycles on and off. It’s common to hear this gurgling sound when the compressor is off, as the refrigerant moves through the system, and it usually quiets down once the compressor activates. If the noise is consistent and loud, we recommend checking if the refrigerator is level and stable, as improper leveling can sometimes amplify noises. You can adjust the feet of the unit to ensure it's balanced. Additionally, ensure there’s enough space around the refrigerator for air circulation.
