We have a GRP257STS (Australian, discontinued model) Side by Side LG fridge that has an ice dispenser and a Home Bar. It is making a single beep noise (different to the door open alarm) which sounds at variable intervals, sometimes a few times a minute, sometimes every other minute or sometimes once every 5 minutes (all while nobody is touching the fridge). This has been going on for a few hours today. It happened previously and went on continually for 3 days then stopped. The fridge is 3 years old, out of warranty. Is there any troubleshooting we can look at doing ourselves? Thanks kindly
Have you cleared and cleaned the condenser and checked the water filter?

I have worked on refrigerators for 30 years but never worked on a Samsung. This is a WILD and I do mean WILD guess at what the noise may be. Don't use this information to attempt a repair but just to track where noise may be coming from.
There is a motorized damper door that opens and closes between the freezer section and the refrigerator section. My guess is that that damper assembly is what is making this noise. I can not tell you why it may be making this noise except that if is making the noise it probably is going bad. Remember this is just a guess and you will need to locate the damper assembly in order to try to pinpoint the origin of the sound. Your recording was wonderful and I wish more people in my everyday job would use their heads like you. I hope this sheds some light on the problem. Remember I am just guessing, don't spend money till you are able to verify cause.
Seems there would be a 1 year warranty on the frig.

Sounds like the freezer fan is rubbing some wires or possible some foam insulation around the fan. I would look into the freezer compartment fan and go from there. The fan Will Shut off when you open the doors. Let me know how you make out and if you need anymore help.
Thanks,
Bill

FAN MAKING NOISE BECAUSE OF BAD COMP BOARD, PUT UP WITH NOISE OR REPLACE EXPENSIVE BOARD

Hello,
Sounds like you have a bad door switch. Depending on the age of the fridge, it might still be under warranty. If it's not, then you might be able to access the door switch yourself and pull it out & replace it.
Good luck......
