My Kenmore side by side makes loud noise when compressor turns off?

Everytime my refrigerator turns off it makes a loud sound. Its like it jumps when it turns off. When in another room it sounds and feels like someone dropped something heavy on the floor. What could be wrong.

over charge,or not enough lubrication.

Lynn,

I wish I had better news, but this could be a bad compresser.
