my edgestar kegerator is making a loud popping noise about once every couple of hours

I have this and I hate the loud popping sound. I have just learned to deal with it until tonight. I loosened the 4 screws that hold the cooling plate on and I have yet to hear a loud bang!

Sounds as you have the crushed ice setting in therrefrigertor. The unit makes then solid if it does not something is sticking.

When mine was first installed, my electrician said I would hear some noises (something like a popping noise) after the unit shuts off and that would be normal. I'm not sure why. I've had mine installed for over 7 months and have not had any issues with it. I don't know for sure if it no longer makes the noise, or if it stops after a time.

Mine is doing the same thing. I finally just stopped using the ice machine unless I need it for a one time use. Was awesome while it lasted :/

We had a very similar problem with ours as well. It is a great freezer and exceeds any other cheap freeze we have had over the years. When the windings inside the motor start to come apart or a bearing goes out, they start to squeal like you describe. We actually took our motor into an electric motor winding shop and he replaced all of the internal windings for about $60. The unit is working like new again. They can probably do the same if a bearing is going out. Hope this helps! It will probably be cheaper than buying a new motor.

Just got mine and I've solved it 3 times. It popped two times. Haven't had this issue before...

I had the same noise with mine. Couldn't figure out why. It stopped when I upgraded to the Nest Thermostat.

Hey Steve,my edgestar is totally vicicious kicking out cubes, shell out the extra nickel, proof is in the pudding, let it set a day level to let the cooling agents settle, 6 month clean behind the fan, ie radiator, mucho ice O , enjoy

Mine did that too from day one. The box it came in was damaged and I assume that is what caused the weird noises. It wasn't worth the time and money to ship it back so I just used it until it started giving me uneven heat. Then I junked it.

There is no visual evidence but you hear an audible "click-click" when air is removed. When I pull the stopper it makes a hissing sound like opening a fresh can of soda

No mine doesn't make noise like that at all. Do you add enough water it could be the ice packs hitting the plastic parts or the plastic parts on the bottom may be loose.

I updated the keg link in the posting so if it did not work the first time is should this time. And the kegerator is called the K209B-2 Kegerator from Kegco if you need to look it up for some reason.

Yes, I have this model, and it makes the popping noises after it has been on for a short time. With mine, it goes away after the TV has been on for a while. It made them a few times after I turned it off as well.

Sometimes there are popping/pinging sounds when metal is heated or cooled rapidly, but I haven't noticed any loud popping sounds with my pan.

Hi Jeff,We had this unit installed about two months ago when we remodeled our kitchen, and it's doing the same thing. We know that it was installed per EdgeStar's requirements. I looked it up in the owners' manual, and I checked all of the reasons EdgeStar provided for why this might be happening (not installed properly, the door is left open, bad seals, ...) but I don't see any reason that would apply to us. I just assumed that it's happening because it's trying to stay within 2 degrees of the setting? Please let me know if you find out.Thanks, Sandy C.
