Check for loose mounting bolts on the compressor and any electrical parts inside such as a Power Transformer.

Loud buzzing noise and both lights on the bottom are on.

Is the buzzing coming from the compressor, or from the switch itself?

BUZZING NOISE FROM MY HEAT PUMP

Take a look at this YouTube page that explains with good videos what are some of the common problems with heat pump noise. The one that seems dominant is the defrost cycle a heat pump goes thru when it melts ice off the evaporative coils. In defrost cycle, The compressor runs but the cooling fan does not, so you will hear a loud buzzing sound and the unit sounds like it is stalled...because only the compressor is running to generate heat to melt coil ice.

My Maytag Gas Dryer makes a loud buzzing noise when the ignighter and flame come on

thats a good sign the valves that those coils you replaced sit on are getting bad and you will sooner or later need a brand new gas valve

Buzzing Refrigerant Lines

Have someone check your pressures & temperatures in your refrigeration system. Also check the compressor amps with an analog meter to see if the amps fluctuating. There might be something wrong with the compressor.

A loud intermitant buzzing coming from the back of the fridge

either the noise is coming form he ice maker fill valve( but if its of and still aking noise i doubt it. it also possible that the noise is coming from the compressor itself, overheating nad trying to restart in which case would give a slight "buzz" noise for 5secs or so then "click" off, and wait maybe 3 min to restart again. look for melted ice andperhaps your ice dream ont as hard as it should be???

Loud Buzz upon starting

sounds like just a vibration caused by cols hitting the frame perhaps, sometimes a pull from underneath the unit on the condenser coils will rectify the problem(id give a pretty quick tug, . unit could just be settling into the floor or the house settling around it, vibrations are definitely annoying but usually no need for alarm
