New Frigidaire Gallery Freezer compressor is SO noisy?

Have you made sure your fridge is leveled Sometimes if it's not leveled it could cause rattles. If yes then it's likely defective if it's crazy loud. You could call Frigidaire support and ask them.

Good idea about checking if it’s level. Hopefully that’s the problem. I’m going to get my husband to double check if it’s level this weekend. If it is then I’ll call Frigidaire. Thank you!

We levelled it and it’s still annoyingly loud. It’s so loud we can’t hear people talking in the next round I’m over when it goes off. Costco told us to call Frigidaire, so they can trouble shoot. Between that and finding the kick plate on the fridge was broken on delivery I’m about to send both units back.

Sounds like it was damaged. I'd def send both back

Definitely something wrong as we can hardly hear ours run when in the kitchen, and don't hear it at all of someone is talking.

The kickplate design is a little weird I found. Are your sure it's broken as on ours all it took was to slightly bend one of the fork style tabs outward a little and it stayed on.

Call Frigidaire

I'd be very inclined to bring this back. Even if there's a fix now, do you honestly believe this will last as long as a brand new unit with no issues?

any updates? We have an upright Frigidaire frost free freezer and it is relatively quiet when the compressor runs..

All Frigidaire told us on the phone was to check if it's level. They offered to send someone out for service but we are having the set sent back since the fridge came with a broken kick plate - normally I wouldn't be concerned if it was just that but between the broken kick plate and crazy noisy compressor I suspect this set wasn't transported very carefully. We ordered February 2nd and it was delivered Feb 28th... and sat in the delivery warehouse for three weeks after they received it from Costco. The compressor the contractors are using is probably just as loud as our freezer when it goes off... scares the crap out of anyone who happens to be near it when it goes off.

Yes, it is kinda weird. But it's broken off, there's a jagged edge and about 3-4" is missing from the right end on the fridge, and the freezer has the same kick plate and its intact, with nothing missing. The pieces look super cheap though and I'm sure it didn't take much to break it off.

#%<~%!

We received a replacement freezer from Costco and the damn thing is just as loud! We made sure the freezer was level. The noise happens randomly and only for 5-7 seconds so we haven’t been able to record it yet but I’m hoping to.

I’m so ticked off right now!

Forget this model then. Return it.

Record the sound then play it over the phone so customer service can hear it for themself.

I’m trying to, like I mentioned.

Too bad you didn't get a tech to check your first fridge as I suggested. You might have learned invaluable info. Live and learn.

What could I have learned from the technician? Genuinely curious.
