We have a side by side door frigidaire refrigerator that is less than 3 yrs old. The door, to the fridge only, makes a loud popping sound each time we open and close it. The freeezer door does not do this. The sound comes from the bottom hinge of the door. I needed some help on how I even begin to get this issue resolved.
You need to take the door off the hinges and remove the lower hinge plate from the bottom of the door. This is where I found my popping problem. The black bushing with the 3 bumps and dips on it is loose in the plate going into the door. I took black eletrical tape and rapped it around the part that goes into the plate to tighten the bushing up so it wouldn't turn anymore. ( This was a temp fix to see if the popping would go away) 3 Weeks later and still working. If the sound comes back I will put some double sided sticky back foam on it. Both doors were doing this on my fridge, and now its as quite as a mouse. I hope this fix works for you.
I had this similar problem with our side by side it is 3 yrs old.
1. Take off the offending door the bushing at the bottom is the problem. It is the black bumpy thing.
2. Unscrew the plate. Take it off clean off the bushing and place it back in the plate. Remember to put it back in the same way you took it out.
3. Take some gorilla gule. or similar strong adhesive. Apply VERY SMALL amount to bottom of bushing and around sides.
4. Replace to door, and put back on Frig.

Same problem, since I bought it.
I have the same problem. I also took everything off the door to see if it had something to do with weight & nothing changed. It is a very annoying popping sound from the fridge side only!
We have exactly the same problem - the fridge is now 6 years old and it is driving me nuts!
