How Quiet is Your Refrigerator?

Sooner — Sun, 20 Jul 2025 17:33:50 GMT

Shopping for a new fridge and we need one that is really quiet. So I'm going to ask here how quiet is yours???

I don't trust ratings on that. I want to hear from people I trust! Like y'all!!!!!

My 35 year old GE is very quiet. I don't look forward to the day I have to go shopping for a new one.

Ive had my eye on a new fridge for awhile and notice prices have really gone up and due to go up more soon due to tariffs.

I plan to get a Whirlpool as I've heard many horror stories about other brands. I've had a lot of whirlpool appliances and never had a lemon Noise wouldn't be a factor for me.

I have a stainless steel Kitchen Aid (second one in five years). Quality???? Lots of noise too.

My Kelvinator is 43 years and still going - not much noise.

I have a Frigidaire. I don't notice any significant noise coming from it.

I've got a Whirlpool side-by-side. It's around twenty years old and not very loud. Ironically since reading this, suddenly heard it humming, briefly, and it's not very loud and I'm reight next to it. Guess it's pretty quiet.

I think years ago Sears used to sell Kenmore refrigeratorsthat were actually Whirlpools.

We have an LG.

It's very quiet.

Our dishwasher is the only kitchen appliance that runs a bit loud at times.

Our refrigerator is a Whirlpool French door style, about 8 years old. It's quiet but I will occasionally hear a fresh batch of ice cubes drop.

I have a GE that I bought at Home Depot over 10 years ago. It's a traditional fridge with the freezer on top. I absolutely hate the freezer section because it's too dang small. I'm very limited though with the size of fridge I can get.

I'm also not fond of the fridge section. They made the shelves on the inside of the door deeper so they jut into the fridge part further, which takes away from the inside space! All the different brands I looked at back then were designed like this, so I had no choice.

As for noise, I think it's possessed. It makes this eerie sound like a ghost after it shuts off from a cooling cycle. "Woooooo-oooooo". .....i yi yi.....

My Whirlpool is four or five years old and very quiet.

We have a GE side by side. Very quiet but I hate the side by side. It was here when we bought our condo. Wishing it would break down!!! so we could get a different model. But we've had GEs for just about all our appliances for many years and have not had any problems.

I couldn't agree more.

Every new appliance I have bought has been a disappointment,

My 35 year old Hotpoint is so quiet that I can not tell when it is running. It is in our hot garage all summer long and it keeps everything cold and frozen. Couldn't ask for more from a refrigerator.

Have a Maytag in the kitchen. It is quiet but sometimes once in awhile you notice a noise.

@Sooner

Except when the ice releases into the interior bin it's very quiet, never hear it. It's a Samsung French door / door in door refrigerator.

My old dishwasher sounded like a 747 landing lol. We replaced it with a Bosch. it is SO quiet, Bosch has a red light at the bottom that reflects on the floor to show that it is running. Absolutely love it.

@katie1859 We usually go to the Metro store near us, I avoid the big box stores for appliances mostly. I'm looking for the most reliable one, but noise levels you really can't get a handle on so I appreciate all of the input from posters here!

@rockygems123 I love Bosch dishwashers! I just saw today they make fridges too. . .

@JeanLouiseFinch

Did you know that you can remove the ice maker to make more room in the freezer? DH has done that whenever we find one installed: he needs the space and will use old-fashioned ice trays. When we sell the place, he reinstalls the ice maker.

Since we don't use many ice cubes, he makes them fresh.
