Why is unit making a buzzing noise that stops only when the interlock switch activates by opening the door?

Unit is operating fine,but loud buzzing is worrisome.

When the door is open the safety switch turns off power.
1. low voltage transformer may be the culprit. Also a bad fan relay.
very carfully with door off off close safety switch with a insulated probe touch transformer and listen for the buzz.
2. with the transformers it can be a common problem. Check for loose mounting screws.

Makes a really loud buzzing noise during operation

Unit uses a Magnetron and likely a power board called an inverter to run it. Someone would have to open the unit in a way where they might pinpoint where the sound is coming from and then take action--does not of course sound normal or good to me.

The freezer is making a loud buzz sound that stops when I open the door.

Could be the evaporator fan motor about to fail or the evap fan blade touching something. If the fan is controlled by a door switch, opening the door would deactivate the motor and the noise would stop. Depress the door switch and see if you can locate the exact source of the noise.

Buzzing noise, wont work???

The magnatron is shorting, overloading the high voltage transformer. From the picture this looks like an older unit and is probably not worth a magnatron replacement.

Loud buzzing after heating up

the buzzing is normal.  there is an element inside the quartz tube much like a filament in a light bulb.  as this heats up it starts to move.  where you have electrical energy you also have magnetism produced. metal objects vibrate when they are in or within a magnetic field. the element is tungsten wire and vibrates off this magnetic field.
