Check the evaporator fan inside the unit
Check the condenser fan (if equipped) under the unit
Check the compressor mounts - they are rubber and could be wearing causing the compressor to be touching something under the unit, making the noise.
Check for any loose parts like screws, hinge screws, sheet metal etc.

Refrigerators dont loose refrigerant (extremely rare) for the past 20 years .(except Amana ) I think your problem is elsewhere such as : dirty coils , frost on the rear wall (behind panel) indicating a defrost problem , compressor fan or freezer fan not working .

yes. This is the way freezers work. Every freezer will do this. If the freezer doesnt do this it generally does not work properly. So to answer your question... its nothing to worry about.

hi is the fan motor going in the freezer. if so how long has it been plugged in if more than 24 hrs and the fan is going. it could be that because it sat for 10 years the lines that go inside could have rusted out. so if this is the case its scrap sorry. the appliance doc.

Never heard back on your refrig., so if you still have problem, please feel free to ask more or add info.

No it is not the timer. You may have an open overload protector at the compressor. Check across the overload for a reading with an ohm meter. If it reads zero it is good, if not replace it.

I went on a call for a problem like you explained. I looked everywhere and found that a battery in a smoke detector was low and warning that it needed replacing. No insult, but the customer and I were both were a little supprised. Now I have not found a fridge beep yet, so if you have already found the answer please let me know. So we can pass the answer on to others that have had the problem you listed. I realize our response time is late, I just saw it today. Please tell me what you found, Thanks, JT

check the start switch that is on the side of the compressor, it may have been jarred loose.

The door seal is damaged or the hindge alignment have allowed the warm air to enter and the cold air to leak out the of the freezer. Look and feel around the door for the cold air and check the top and bottom hinges to make sure they haven't become loose. Look for tears also around the seal because this will do the same thing. Let me know what you find. JT

First make sure you have a good 9v battery installed. If it is ok then the problem will probably be in the display board or the wiring connectors between the boards. CE is communication error. If your model has the electronic tempature control instead of mechanical thermostat the problem could be in there. My bet is a bad connection at display board.

We had a Kenmore upright which worked fine but then suddenly was not keeping food frozen. Long story short, do not store anything on top of the freezer unit. It will insulate the coils that run across the top of the unit, and cause your compressor to work harder than it needs to, and eventually overheat and become ineffective. Says nothing about it in the user manual. We learned the hard way by losing food.

I would check that the door gasket makes good contact with the cabinet. If it does then I would check the temp inside the cabinet. If you have large buildups of ice on the evaporator coils then I would suggest defrosting the freezer and see if that makes a difference. Hope this helps.

LOW / NO BATTERY ALARM The Low/No battery alarm will activate when the power level of the battery becomes low. The display will alternate between "b" (Battery, See figure 8) and the cabinet temperature, the red alarm light will become illuminated and the control panel will beep every five seconds. To stop the audible alarm (beep), press the "ALARM RESET" button. The red alarm light will remain on and the display will continue to flash until a new battery is installed. This same alarm will activate if there is no battery installed

try unplugging it and leaving it unplugged for a while. 15 minutes maybe? Leave door closed so it stays relatively cold. It should reset the unit.

The light may be staying on and creating heat, or the unit thinks the door is still open. Or the door seal is worn and is letting cold out. Or It needs gas. Have you put a thermometer inside to check the temperature? It should be 0'F +/- 2'. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenmore+upright+freezer.+The+alarm+keeps+going+off ..
