I have an Amana BG21 Firdge. It has been making a lot of noise for the past month. Noise is gone and fridge isn't very cold. Is it inexpensively fixable?

There are several videos on line about buzzzing fridges. This is one

if noise is coming from inside freezer,,, the fan is probably hitting ice buildup,, and when you unplug fridge it thaws and noise goes away for a few days. sounds like a defrost problem.. either therostat is bad or heating element is broken and needs to be replaced

The noise is due to the ice build up in your evaporator. The evaporator fan blade is rubbing against the ice build up. This can is designed to turn off when you open the door. As far as the defrost problem it can be your defrost bimetal thermostat, the defrost timer/control or your defrost heater.

What is the model number of the unit?

A popping noise? Could it be the clicking of a relay? There is a relay that activates the compressor that could cause a clicking sound if it doesn't hold. A popping sound could be a bad capacitor but normally isn't a continuous popping sound, unually only one pop.

If the unit is only 4 monthes old it should still be under warranty and you should call it in for repair.

your fridge,,, come on now,,its 10 years old,, dont you think you have had your moneys worth out of it yet?,,it needs a re-gas, pricy job that is, also maybe a thermostat as well,,,do yourself a faver dont spend money on it, its well past it,,bit like me now! save your cash and get a nice new fridge,,,just so you can show it off to all your palls,,, the old Dr who???happy days "A"?

noise like the..compressor.
like bubbling of u r refigerator..
i think u r compressor doesnot get proper AMPE(current) firstly check u r referagator current by AMPmeter connecting in series...if it takes about(3-4) it will be ok greater that or less than 3-4 u r compressor is dead...after a time it shutdown the compressor (by relay).


if only bubblink and creating lot of noise and then sets ur electric current is not good for ur fridge. change the electric current ur fridge will be oky...


i hope my ide will works for u...

When applied, brakes generate lots of heat... If noise was there after dirving for a while, likely the noise is not from ice. If noise is gone, wait and see if it returns, If it does, check rear brake linings to make sure they are OK (never hurts to check them once in a while anyhow!!!)

Check the defrost timer, rotate it until a solid click is heard. If your unit starts to work replace that timer. Good Luck
