Why does punching an appliance sometimes seem to fix it?

434 views

So I live in military barracks and i have a shitty fridge in my room. It started making this horrible noise, and out of desperation I landed a solid right hook to the side of it. Like magic, the noise stopped. This has happened numerous times in my life. Something is broken, and some brute force fixes it. What happens inside that could solve the problem from percussive force?

Got a TV off the side of the road in college, it was an earlier version of a flat screen TV. LCD.

The screen had a little green line through it, and over a couple months the green line spread and took up a good chunk of the screen. Punched it one day, right on the screen. Green line disappeared and we used that TV until we moved out of that house
