>MY REFRIGERATOR IS MAKING A BUZZING SOUND, NOW IT'S NOT COOLING AT ALL. It started 6 weeks ago , I cleaned all the dust and hair from around the fan, compressor and cooling lines. It worked fine for a mo. . Now it runs all the time. Buzzing for 30 sec. still running but not buzzing for 30 to 60 sec. Repeating cycle over and over. 3 yrs. old refrigerator We noticed food was freezing in fridge and thawing freezer. I clean the coils. We left unplugged overnight and was about a month before the issue started again. This time there is an added loud buzz, or hum. The noise lasts about 10 seconds, then stops for about one or two minutes and repeats. now fridge isn't even cold tho. It's 9 years old. It's a Kenmore and I hate Sears & Kenmore!!!!!! Nothing but problems with all our appliances we've bought starting about 2 years in.
You have one of two problems going on. Your fan is spinning at hitting the sides. Or your compressor is shot which seems to be more the problem and even though it is cold the humming sound is a warning for you that the compressor is shot and it is more affordable to replace the fridge then the compressor. Sometimes compressor can cost more then the fridge.
Testimonial: "It was the compressor. Bought a new Amana and it's great! Hate Sears still;)"
Sounds like the ac compressor is shot and or both of the fands are shot. Fans are locate in top and bottom freezer. Mifght be better to look for another unit.
Many times a freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many other things that can go wrong.
If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing then check out the last two tips.
If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...
Check out these tips that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...
