Defrosting and Cleaning the refrigerators

We have two refrigerators that both need cleaning and defrosting as they are not auto defrost.
Sometimes we just defrost and not bother about removing everything out and cleaning it which is actually needed Last couple of months we just defrosted and that could be the reason why we hear a knock sound a single knock - from one of the fridges perhaps coming from the compressor Have decided to clean it now and see if it helps Else we will have to call up the company for them to come and check it out,
How often do you clean and defrost your fridge/s?.

About once a month I check all the bowl and packages in the fridge to make sure nothing has gone bad since the last time I checked and Pretty cleans the inside of the fridge and freezer.

Our maid used to do what you two are doing but now we have only a gardener who is also a house help but I have yet to get him to do these jobs

@allknowing I understand. Most people in the US don't have maids.

I do check for things to see if they go bad but have not been taking out everything and cleaning it. But that is called for.

I am fortunate..my fridge is not a defroster..one never has to defrost it.
I hope that this will help the problem and that you do not have to buy a new compressor.
Or will you get a fridge new?

Both our fridges are pretty new and besides that noise nothing else is wrong with that fridge.

@allknowing I have one Single Door LG Refrigerator. I will defrost it once in a week.
I will clean it from time to time, when cleaning is required.

@writerjo I would recommend once a month or when you see too much frost

We really don't defrost as all our fridges are non-frost but we deep clean our fridges every three to four months.
