Why would my freezer part of my frig it keeps icing up and then the fan blade of the evaparator fan hits it and makes hell of a noise

I suspect that the door seals are not as they should be and allowing air into the compartment bring in humidity that is turning to ice

From what you're describing it sounds like the freezer fan motor is causing the noise you hear. The freezer fan is the only moving part in the freezer section. I recommend replacing the freezer fan motor & fan blade together. If there is ice buildup on the back wall of the freezer then the sound is likely from the fan blade hitting the ice and you will need to defrost the unit.

Could be the fan in the freezer making that noise.

Look closer because ice can build up and the fan just barely hits it making the noise. If the fan blades are not hitting anything, replace the fan motor as the bearings are getting worn out.

Hi. You didn't state which fan you are having issues with, so i will address both areas.


The condenser fan is located behind the refrigerator. It may be necessary to remove an access panel to reach it. This fan has a shroud, and if the fan blade becomes warped, it will rub against the shroud, causing noise. This fan blade is whole,and it can be removed and replaced if this is the case. Ok, the next problem spot will be the evaporator fan.

The evaporator fan is located at the back of the freezer. It may be necessary to remove obstructions such as the contents of the freezer, freezer shelves, ice maker and the rear inside panel of the freezer. The rear panel may be held in place by retainer clips or screws. Remove the screws or depress the retainer clips with a small screwdriver. Check the fan for warped blades. If the blades are warped or mis-aligned, replace it. This fan also is protected by a shroud as well, and it will make noise if the fan blade is damaged.


NOTE_ If the fan blades are not warped, and rubbing against the shrouds, this will indicate that the motor that rotate the affected fan is damaged. It must be replaced, in this case.

Probably is the solenoid or dual valve ,thats leaking and the only way to fix this is changging the solenoid.

nothing to do with light bulb - noise is probably fan hitting ice that has built up. to check, remove back panel inside freezer and check for ice build up. melt off with a hairdryer and get back to me if i'm right

The missing fan noise is the clue; the fan that is responsible for circulating air between the two chambers has failed. Both may have cooling coils but a fan is responsible for balancing the temperature between the two and is even more important if the coils are exclusively located in the freezer chamber.
Unless it is still under warranty, it isn't necessary to wait on Sears service since they are independent contractors anyhow.
If you are in the US, check your local Better Business Bureau website to find a reliable service company. I'd bet you can find one much earlier than next month.    

bearings in motor bad(new motor) fan blade hitting ice build up many different causes for this

GAIN ACCESS TO THE FAN IN THE FREEZER(EASIER SAID THAN DONE) AND INSPECT THE FAN BLADE AND FAN SHROUD. HAVE REFRIGERATOR TURNED OFF AND MANUALLY ADVANCE FAN BLADE. WATCH FOR SLIGHT CONTACT BETWEEN THE FAN BLADE AND OTHER OBJECTS NEAR IT-ELECTRICAL WIRING, FAN SHROUD, ICE CYCLE,ETC. ADJUST FAN BLADE OR OBJECT TO INCREASE CLEARANCE.
