Doors creak loudly when closed and pushed from the outside. Don't when open.

When we push on the doors, both freezer and refrigerator when closed, they creak loudly. If one refrig door is open, the other does not creak but they all creak when closed. Just started doing this.

This short solution may help solve your creaking problem. First thing is make sure the freezer door is capable of closing properly and is not rubbing or catching anywhere. I sometimes add a washer or 2 to the center hinge under the freezer door so it doesn't rub anything. Put a little Vaseline ( or food grade silicone lubricant ) on the hinge side of the seal. I then raise the front of the refrigerator so that the front of the refrigerator is a little higher than the back of the refrigerator. Never level a fridge with a level. Once you have the door closing properly and front slightly higher than the back...let the fresh food door close from 90 degrees on it's own and the freezer door may "pop" open a little but will close again on it's own...and stay closed once all is set up properly. We see this more often now and have no trouble with the door staying open again after setting up the refrigerator properly. Putting vaseline insid the hinge pins too is a good idea.
Let me know if I can assist you better, Thanks, Sea Breeze

Creaking noise after refrigerator door is closed

only thing I can thing of is the slight vacuum caused by the quick temperature change when the warm air that enters when the door is open is trapped after closing the door. As it cools it shrinks and creates a mild vacuum which should dissipate after a few seconds. The creaking is probably the sound of the pressure regulating between the fridge and the room. Might indicate a problem with one of your seals but more than likely is not a concern.

Adjusting doors to stay closed

It is not a matter of adjusting the doors. It is a matter of adjusting the legs so that the front legs are taller than the back. This causes the entire refrigerator to tilt toward the back, which is what makes the doors close by themselves. Your installer should have done this for you, as it differs between locations. It takes at least 2 people to do this: one person tilts the refrigerator back by pushing on the front of the freezer door, and the other person carefully rotates the front legs of the refrigerator until they lengthen about 1/2 inch - each! You might have to slide the whole refrigerator forward to give you some space behind it to allow tilting. Don't adjust the rear legs - not needed unless someone has unthreaded them in error, or for some unknown reason.

Need gaskets for CSX20E Hotpoint side by side

Seals don't lose their magnetism. Check the door closes all the way round and adjust the hinges if it doesn't sit straight. Check there isn't a relief valve frozen up or blocked (it allows air to escape when the doors are closed). Check the drawers are fully pushed back in and not stopping the door closing properly

JFC2087HRP Jenn-Air freezer creaking noise.

Most of the time this happen when the refrigerator has been hooked up to the water, and than you unhooked it!!, the water that is in the hose makes that sound when it's pushed by the air in the hose. that's a typical problem when you unhooked the water.

My door does not close completed.sometimes when you close the freezer the air pushes the borrom door open

Raise the front legs to where they are slightly higher than the rear; that throws the weight of the doors towards the rear of the icebox.

Our side by side freezer door opens slightly

That is a common occurrance for side by side refrigerators. Closing the fresh food door is like having your car windows closed and closing the door. You can feel the air pressure on your ears. In the refrigerator, the air passes through the duct and into the freezer pushing the door open. The magnet on the door gasket should keep it closed. But it may be the freezer door needs the hinges adjusted to the door seats better when closed. Take the plastic cover off the top hinge and you can loosen the screws (don't take them out) and adjust the door slightly (so it looks even between both doors) and tighten the screws up. The top of the door should be level with the top of the unit, and the gap between the doors even the whole way down.

Loud chatter from cold vent mechanism ("clamshell cover") at center rear of top shelf. Can I remove this cover to investigate ? This isn't related to the compressor cycling -- it's seems to be on it's own...

this is your damper control
it is a lil door that is being pushed ipen and closed
to regulate the temp in the refer, off the coils in the freezer,
yes you can remove the cover, some models have a screw, some just pull off,and snap on
some of these dampers creak, some dont
i know its annoying , but you may just get a replacement part that creaks too
hope this helps good luck

Strange Noise - Creaking

I had the same problem. My fridge would make a creaking sound as soon as the freezer was closed. I took 10 minutes to trouble shoot the problem and pinpointed that it was coming from the icemaker. After wondering if I was going to have to replace it, I noticed a piece of ice wedged in a way so that the ice maker arms could not fall into the basin to make ice. The sound was the motor creaking because of the jam. Removed the ice and the sound went away. Now, I'm sure the motor will **** out in a few months since it has been jammed for 2 weeks burning up the motor. Oh well. Hope this helps.
