    Ever since the shop has put in a new inverter, my fridge makes a popping noise. Kind of sounds like the compressor is going to explode or some kind of relay is popping. It is still keeping things cold, but it just occasionally pops. Any ideas why?
    Thanks in advance

    Did they mount the inverter in the fridge?

    Best place to start is connections. Make sure power wire is good and tight. Double check grounds. If all that is good I'd run the fridge off another power source, if it doesn't make that noise when on a different power source then it would only lead to something being wrong with the inverter.

    Thanks for the reply... I have taken it home & run it on regular AC & I did not hear the noise. It is a new inverter but I guess there is something wrong with it or with the way the shop installed it. Thanks again for the re
