Question about KitchenAid KSRS25IL Side by Side Refrigerator
We have a 12 year old fridge that has started to make a very loud rumbling noise several times a day. Any idea what it could be? If it is a sign of something about to break I want to be proactive and fix it before it breaks so I don't have to throw hundreds of dollars worth of groceries away.
Mine doing the same thing, but I think it is just a fan in the freezer section behind the metal panel in the back - sounds like the fan is out of balance. I can stop the fan=stops the noise.

this guy is right on. My Kitchenaid Superba counter depth is doing the exact same thing. Noise IS coming from the fan in the freezer section behind the metal panel. Not sure what, if anything will keep it wuiet. Took off the panel and inspected the fan....looks okay but still hums loudly when everything is back in place.

Put a screwdriver on the compressor with the handle on your ear and listen. If you hear the loud grumbling noise from the compressor you're probably better off replacing the fridge.
Do the same with the fan motor. If it's the fan motor, you can easily replace that.

I have exactly the same problem. Mine is 11 years old and I believe the low frequency rumbling noise is coming from the compressor.
My Superba 42 is 14 years old and yesterday it started making a louder noise from I believe the compressor, suspect it is going bad. Does anyone know what it costs to replace the compressor?
