There is a vibration noise on my Samsung #RF217ABBP. The vibration is loudest on back midway up. Anyone know what causes this vibration and is there a fix?

I can make it quiet just by pressing my hand against the back or left side. Very annoying.

Try cleaning the condenser coil underneath the refrigerator. A dirty coil can make the compressor run extremely hard and vibrate. If this coil is clean, a compressor mount maybe loose or broken.

Zanussi Lindo 1000 Condenser Dryer. Why has my machine started getting louder than normal.

Dry bearing and a slipping belt is the most likely reasons. A belt slipping causes vibration and squealing.

Driving noise, not from bearings

it could be center bearing, if its going bad it can also cause a vibration, make sure you have sufficient fluid in the diff as well, you can also get a noise and vibration from collapsed motor or trans mounts

MY SAMSUNG RF217ABBP REFRIGERATOR FREEZER WON'T STAY ON

same as the last post...If the refrigerator wont stay on the start relay may be defective. This may have been caused by the leaking door that overloaded the system. The relay is a small box mounted to the side of the compressor and provides power to the compressor start winding for a split second at start-up to help get the compressor get started. If its defective the compressor may run off and on (a lot) or not at all and the refrigerator will not get cold enough. Fairly easy to do and reasonable

Freezer is set on -2 degrees, actual temp in freezer is -20. What sensor is causing this problem

I suspect that you do not have a problem. . The standard operating temperature of a freezer is around -20 degrees CENTIGRADE (-2 Farenheit)

Your freezer has an option to display degrees C and degrees F, I suspect it is showing farenheit

I have taken a look at a copy of the manual, which can be found at:

http://www.manualowl.com/m/Samsung/RF217ABBP/Manual/142915

But for the life of me, I can't see how to change the display from C to F and back anywhere in the guide. If I am right, swapping the display back to Farenheit will solve the display issue.

If you are unable to change the display, you can try calling Samsung in arlington NJ on 1-800-726-7864.

Hope this helps. Please add a comment to this thread to let me know if the problem is solved or if you need more help

Hot water noise when tap is turned on louder when full on at tap. Atwood MOdel GC104A

Noise in pipe means vibration.
Pipes vibrate when water turns corner, or if there is a clog somewhere in the line, or if there is air in the line.
Water heaters make noise when sediment builds up inside of tank.
I would probably try to track location of noise, and then put that spot on top of suspect list. For example if sink has shut-off, and noise seems loudest there.

I have a 03 Sorento, is the center bearing on the drive shaft a slip on fit or a press on fit. Pretty sure mine needs changing.

Interference fit- meaning it can be worked off with a little help of a hammer andpunch, It can also be a slip fit so try before you pry. Good Luck _Ned_
