We just moved this to our garage from my mother's house. It is at least 5 years old. Upper freezer. The refrigerator took about 1 and a half days to get cold - is that normal? The freezer only took a few hours. It has been plugged in 3 days now and this morning I noticed a very loud noise coming from it. It was so loud I unplugged it in case something blew! There are items already stored in the unit. What is the noise?
When you transported this unit did you lay it down or stand it up? If it was layed down then you should of waited at least 24 hours before plugging it up again to give the oil in the compressor time to settle back down. Actually either way it was transported it still needed the 24 hour rest time. So if you automatically plugged it in after transportation you could have messed up the compressor. Let it set unplugged for 2 days then plug it in and see what happens. If loud noise persists then you know the compressor is shot. Goog Luck.
