I HAVE A WIRLPOOL GOLD FRIDGE/FREEZER MODEL GD5SHAXNSOO AND WHEN I OPEN THE FRIDGE SIDE DOOR THE LIGHT COME ON BARELY AND A BUZZING NOISE IS HEARD? WHATS UP
Re: BUZZING NOISE ON WHIRLPOOL GOLD FRIDGE/FREEZER
YOU MAY HAVE A BAD LIGHT BULB, SOCKET OR LIGHT SWITCH. TRY WIGGLING THE SWITCH TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY CHANGE IN THE BULB INTENSITY. IF NO CHANGE, TRY REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB. IF NO CHANGE, THE SOCKET NEEDS REPLACED.

switch of your refrigerator then try replacing the light that doesn't work then try to switch it back on. the light might be the cause of the noise. it might be grounded. replacing the light might reduce the noise then observed the noise for a week then if it still making noise that's the time for you to get a technician that could fix your refrigerator.hope it helped... send us a message for more concerns thank you...
your refrig has a bad electronic control heres the part #W10135090 the noise your hearing is an internal relay on the board buzzing trying to turn the lights on. i found the part at sears.com and it was ony about 80 bucks it is a plug and play part so you should be able to replace it yourself. the board is located in the white box next to the compressor in the back of your refrig. thanks peyton
I had the same problem. The light would dimly flicker and make a sort of clicking noise. It was still under warranty and the repair man had to replace a circuit board in the back. Not sure of what the cost would be if not under warranty. Hope this helps.
Have you got a screw loose. One which holds the door light switch. is it the switch which buzzes?. I had a fridge which didn't get cold. When I scrapped it I found that the retaining ring for the switch was not tight enough and r4ealised that the light had been on when the door was closed.
