Feed it. It's just hungry.

My 17 year old frig gurgles a lot. Sometimes I hear dripping sounds. And the compressor rumbles very loudly with loud, snappy sounds as the relays click off then on later. Sometimes sizzling sounds, like bacon frying. Sadly, I'm not meant to understand any of it as my manual says to expect strange sounds. But when I open the door the frig feeds me so I seldom complain smiling smiley .
