Check to see if the damper is stuck. There should be a vent from the freezer to the refrigerator. This can go bad and ice will form in the vent. The return vents will also probably be blocked when this happens requiring a complet defrost of the refrigerator after replacing the damper.
Old gas stoves were designed to be vented out. the newer stoves vent out the top at the back of the top panel. You may still need to have some kind of vent in the kitchen either a ceiling vent van or a range hood. At the very least a window in the kitchen. You may want to check with the local building codes about how to vent the stove and the requirements.
The Vent Mode Actuator and its gear that operates the directional door is making the noise. Either the gear is stripped or the door is stuck or the actuator is defective. These parts are hard to get to and will require a mechanic to diagnose.
Local code determines the minimum size for dryer vents. Often this is determined from the manufacturer's requirements for the appliance. As you may have guessed, this is pretty much the standard for dryer manufacturers.
If you were to "adapt" the dryer's 4" pipe down to your home's existing 3" pipe, you would reduce the pipe's area from 12.6 sq inches to just 7.1 sq inches (radius squared x 3.1415). That's nearly HALF the required area that is required. Your clothes dryer will suffer. Drying times will increase dramatically as there will be less air flow. Electric / gas usage will increase due to the longer running times, and there could be significantly more heat inside the dryer that could be a fire hazard.
Don't do it. Either invest in the correct size dryer vent, or use another venting method instead of reducing the pipe size.

alot of these units can just be vented right out front grill of unt. outside would be alot better so that the odors are not being smelled indoors but the fan housing can actually been changed to blow up or you can make it blow out the front grill requireing no venting at all...hope this helps you out good luck
A vent hole is required on a pressure relief valve to allow excess 'dangerous' fluid or gas to escape as required in a controlled manner normally via another pipe.
This unit can be vented through the roof but requires a specialized flue system-do not use an existing flue connection. Call a contractor - have them check and see if the unit can be modified to a vertical flue- it will require the existing piping to be replaced--Not a job for a do-it yourselfer
It must be installed in a window openeing or through the wall.
A load bearing wall is no problem.
Cutout the opening larger than the unit and install a header in the wall cutout.
