The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays activate to control refrigerator components.
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
