I have fan failure. It has been making a strange

if noise starts when fans are on --fan failure or bearings

Processor (heat sink) fan probably needs to be cleaned.

A fan like noise is 98% of the time the color wheel.

Wheel turns at over 12,000 rpm and common failure is "fan like sound or even grinding sound".

When these sets first came out if the high pitched sound started women who have better hearing in that range usually hear it first.

If wheel really fails it will shatter and set will not come on----a grinding sound may be noticed just before total failure.

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.
That strange noise your hearing is probably the fan blades of the evaporator fan striking ice build up on the evaportor coils. This symptom is typical of and automadefrosting problem.... or someone left the freezer door open for a very long period.
You can try doing a manual defrost by unplugging the unit and place a fan blowing into the freezer compartment / compartment making noise for about 2 hours. (makes a water mess) After 2 hours tend to the water mess and restart the unit. Most likely the noise you heard will be gone... for a few days. If you have an automatic defrost problem the noise will return in about 72 hours as the ice build up gets larger on the evaporator coils.

Depending on date of manufacture this unit can have either a manual defrost timer or an adaptive defrost control board that controls the automatic defrost. .

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

you have a defrost problem get tarined repairman

We had the same problem with our Samsung RSH1 fridge freezer. We bought a kit from a company called Appliance DIY Repairs, that were recommended to us by a friend. We fitted the kit. It was an absolute doddle - and considerably cheaper than getting an enginer out to fix it.

Armature or fan in motor has gone bad. Replace motor.
