Question about a weird fridge noise that turned out to be a simple fix

After chasing a high-pitched hum in a customer's Whirlpool for 45 minutes last Tuesday, I finally realized the sound was just the ice maker's fill tube vibrating against the back wall, which I fixed with a single zip tie.

Had a fridge last month with a rattle that drove the homeowner nuts. Turned out to be a loose tube of biscuit dough rolling around in the veggie drawer. Took an hour to find it.

Remember that time, @diana_black22? Took me three hours to find a loose dime...

Wish all fixes were that easy. Honestly, finding a noise in 45 minutes is pretty fast in my book. Sometimes those weird sounds can take half a day just to track down, let alone fix. It's never just one zip tie when I'm looking at it.
