I have a 1999 GE fridge, a top-freezer model, that works perfectly -- EXCEPT that most of the time, the compressor makes a loud THUNK when it shuts off. Loud enough to make visitors jump, although I've sort of gotten used to it.

It's been doing this for a couple of years but recently seems to be getting worse. I should say that sometimes it shuts off normally.

Otherwise, the unit has no problems with keeping a steady temperature or anything else.

Is this something to worry about? Is there any fix that doesn't involve a new compressor?

Thanks in advance.
