My just delivered GE 29 cf fridge is making non stop, every few seconds, ticking noise from the bottom back, that you can hear in an adjacent room.
Has anyone else had that?
Is it complicated to fix?

Whether the Ice Maker is on or off (lit or unlit), the tapping noise continues.
Like theres someone in the fridge tapping their foot every few seconds, non stop.
Manual says:
CRACKS and SNAPS
You may hear cracking or popping sounds when
the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as
the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping
sound.
On models with an ice maker, after an ice making
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the
ice bucket.
After dispensing ice, a motor will close the ice chute
to keep warm room air from entering the ice bucket,
maintaining ice at a freezing temperature.
How long will this noise continue, if this only happens in the beginning?
