The popping noise is a result of the compressor. The compressor is activated by an electrical current, which causes it to turn on and off. This process creates pressure and heat, which in turn makes a popping sound when released.

The popping noise is normal and should not be cause for concern. As long as your mini fridge has been properly maintained and kept clean, the popping noise should not escalate into something more serious like a blown fuse or faulty compressor.

If you notice that the popping sound seems louder than usual or seems to be getting louder over time, then there may be an issue with your mini fridge that needs to be addressed immediately. If this is the case then it will most likely require professional repair services from an appliance technician who specializes in repairing refrigerators and other kitchen appliances like microwaves and stoves.

In most cases, however, if your mini fridge is making a popping noise then it’s probably just fine and you can ignore it unless it gets louder or continues on for more than a few minutes at a time.
