Usually, the obstacle is a result of<strong> ice accumulation near the fan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the evaporator fan rotates, it collides with the ice buildup, making your <a href=\"https:\/\/simplyswider.com\/fridge-makes-knocking-noise\/\"><strong>refrigerator produce loud knocks<\/strong><\/a>. The longer this happens, the higher the chance of <strong>damaging the evaporator fan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is advisable to take action before things escalate, resulting in an even bigger problem.
