Well gents, over the last few days, I've been noticing the ol' CK is sounding a little different. It starts up for a cycle normally, but I'm hearing some liquid sounds inside. It's hard to explain but, I'm sure you gentlemen know the sound in which I mean. It's continuous through the cycle, and a liquid dripping sound still happens after the cycle, when it shuts off for a minute or so. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I'm not sure if there's anyone around here who could fix this if it is a problem. Kinda worried. The box temps are normal, I just defrosted the evaporator the other night. The frost pattern on the evaporator seems to be normal.

Help me out fellas!

Are you sure the sound only started recently? Have you moved anything around the fridge that could have amplified the sound? I know the CK has that awesome style of cooling the oil by shooting it up into the dimple on the top and letting it drip down the sides. Have temperatures in the room changed, or anything that you can think of?

I hear oil dripping inside my CA machine anytime its running but it doesn't start immediately. I never timed it but I would guess 20 seconds or so after it starts you can hear it drizzling in there.

Unfortunately I have zero experience with the CKs so I can't help other than guessing its oil and has always done it.
