Ice maker too loud
on August 29, 2026
Posted by: Jpfefd
from Chicago
The ice maker is incredibly loud. I’m thinking it’s because it’s in the door and no insulation. It’s so loud we think it might be broken or malfunctioning. We like the size and the LED lights but wouldn’t buy it again because of the noise the ice maker makes
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Newer refrigerators may sound different from older models because they use updated technology and include more features. The compressor in a refrigerator is designed to run 80–90% of the time, which is more energy-efficient than frequently stopping and starting. As a result, you may hear the compressor running during normal operation. The normal operating sounds you can expect to hear from your refrigerator are listed in the owner’s manual on page 37 at the link below: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--ainV5tF0--/3cf7f0f847e32814e11348004a414ce8fce911b7.pdf If the sounds you are hearing are not listed in the manual, we recommend reaching out to our Bodewell service team at 1-833-4BODEWELL or visiting the site below to schedule service: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service
Still getting used to a lot of different things. I miss my deli drawer, only has 2 veggie bins. I'm used to having the freezer on the bottom, so things are so low to the floor. Just shelves in freezer, no partitions or bins. I guess just takes getting used to the difference.
The fridge is very good, however the interior needs more lighting. Can be pretty dark. Also needed one more tray for vegetables. Quality is good so far.
The cooling is great and easy to use. The dispenser is awesome and can fill large water bottles. It appears to be an efficient model, however, it would have been great if it was an energy star refrigerator. The icemaking is great and allows crushed and large ice cubes, however, it does get used a lot and needs time to fill back up. The organization is great. I wish there was more storage. The only issue is the wheels made the length longer and required us to fix the cupboards to allow for the fit.
Great appearance simple look. Quiet operation. Ice maker not making ice yet. I was told it takes a couple of days to get it going. Waiting to see that happen. The size is quite large for doorways. The installers had to remove doors and trim to get it inside the house. Measure twice! Overall, great, so far so good.
It’s my fault for not going to store and opening it and looking at it it has no lunch meat drawer and not egg or butter compartment on the door like I said it’s my fault for not looking at it in store. Interior shelves are very limited to where you can put them but plenty of room and door shelves are pretty big
