Refrigerator - Doors Whistling

It can be frustrating to hear a whistling or squeaking sound coming from your refrigerator door. This is something that may happen with a new refrigerator and usually is not a reason for worry. If this is something continuing over a period of time, it may indicate a need for service.

Taking Care of a Whistling or Squeaking Sound Coming From a Refrigerator Door

On new refrigerators, it is not unusual for the door to whistle or squeak. This occurs because the gasket, the rubber material around the inner perimeter of the door, is sealing very tightly. If the noise becomes bothersome, try rubbing paraffin wax or petroleum jelly on the gasket.

This noise will stop in a few days once the gasket becomes more pliable. This is a normal occurrence and does not indicate a problem with your refrigerator or freezer.
