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?

If the problem is that something is loose inside that maybe shouldn’t be loose, or should be loose but is in the wrong place, then banging it can cause it to move to a different place.
In old electronics this could be a broken solder connection that moved slightly so it’s not making a connection any more. A wire rubbing on a fan is also a good example.
Banging on a broken thing has absolutely no guarantee of fixing it, but sometimes it does
