refrigerator making noise

my refrigerator has started making noise like someone is knocking on a door 4 to 5 times daily for maybe half a minute to one minute. Thank you for any help.:slight_smile:

On the surface, that sounds like a failing compressor; but a noise like that will be very difficult to diagnose long distance. You may just have to patiently wait until youโ€™re right there when it starts, so you can tell us where on the machine you hear it.
