Hello there. We understand your inquiry regarding the sounds you are hearing from your LG 20.2 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator.

It is normal to hear occasional popping or crackling noises for a short period after opening and closing the door. These sounds occur because the internal components and the plastic liner expand and contract as they react to the temperature change when warmer ambient air enters the unit. This is a standard part of the refrigerator's thermal adjustment process and does not affect the performance or durability of your appliance. We want to ensure that you feel confident and informed about the normal operation of your cooling system.
