sounds like its bearings in a fan motor probably your evaporator fan motor it is located behind the plastic shell in your refrig. you have to take out the lining and then you will see the fan, evapartor and etc.
Any time there is the sound of humming it is important to locate where the noise is coming from. Sometimes fans wear to a point that at one speed the sound as if humming. Sometimes compressors hum with more catastrophic results. Because your model is a bottom freezer it would be a good idea to open drawer to freezer and see if the sound is from fan in freezer or if pulled away from wall is the sound the fan or compressor area? I believe I will be able to locate a service manual but I will need you to help me pinpoint the location of the loud sound so we can get the sounds back to normal. Let me know if you are able to try that and what you find, Sea Breeze
It is most likely your circulation fan in the freezer. Normally the fan stops when you open the door. It is a normal operation. Check to make sure that the fan is not blocked by frozen items or that the fan doesn't have an ice build up. On some models the fans stops when you open the door and starts a few minutes later after you close the door.
That sound is usually your icemaker calling for water. you can turn off your icemaker by lifting the little arm on the icemaker. As the icemaker calls for water the valve will be activated and will hum. This sound is usually not very loud. If your valve is making that much noise you may consider replacing the valve. The part number for you water inlet valve is #2315533 The retail price is $60.18 . I do have these on hand and available to ship out today if you need one. Please just let me know. You may also consider replacing your filter if your refrigerator has one. Thanks and I hope this will fixYa Michael Anderson Anderson Appliance (865)945-3808
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.
is the unit touching another apliance or unit touching it as the contact can produce sound as it vibrates on something else if it is not touching something else then the unit probably isnt level it should havfeet on the bottom that turn round to allow you to get the unit level you will need a spirit level to do this and put it running side to side and get it level then do it front to back and get it level on getting it level the noise should stop if the noise dont stop then it is probably just a noisy motor there is nothing you can do about this as they sometimes are noisy but if noise stops when you open door then the unit is probably not level and opening the door balacnes the weight distribution and levels the unit and therfore stops the sound i would try balancing the unit first or make sure it is not touching anything else hope this solves oyur problem good luck...........................
