Last night it was making a constant loud noise. My wife unplugged the refrigerator un til I got home. I pulled out the refrigerator and cleaned behind it (first timne in over a year) and vacuumed the coil. The noise decreased and wasn't continous. Now it goes hours with out the noise but we still get it some. I don't know what is causing it. I have thought of the motorized damper.
Hi,
Thank you for your information you provided, could the noise be described as a clicking or ticking noise? The reason I ask is I have heard for this to be a motor driven harvest and the heating within the ice maker is not engaging to release the ice, so the unit continues to push the ice out causing the gear to jump a tooth. If this is the case the only fix is replacing the ice maker to fix the issue. Other possible cause of grinding is the water in not entering the ice maker (hollow ice cubes) so the water is accumulating around the fan motor and freezing up. As the fan turns on the grinding is the fan motor cutting away at the ice. Gain access to the fan motor and check for ice around the fan, if its there remove that ice. The cause is that the water is not getting into the ice maker and causing this issue. Good Luck, I hope this helps.
