most likelly is your dischage hose touching whit the discharge pan so the motor makes the discharge pan vibrate and when the motor stops that vibration shakes the dicharge hose making it rattle. in the back botton of the frige look for a hose coming from the inside of your frige and look and see if it's touching the pan on top of the motor and if it is shim it away from the dicharge pan but making sure that the water coming out of the hose will drop inside the pan (this help cool the down the motor and keeps your floor dry) good luck

The cooling machine in a fridge doesn't run the whole time. The thermostat turns the cooling machine on when the temperature is just a tad over the target temperature, then it will run until the temperature is a little below the target temperature. Then the cooling machine switches off, the temperature will slowly creep up above the threshold, and the machine will start again.
