My Gdm 12 was doing the very same thing. Remove the from grill plate by taking out the 4 screws below the door. This will expose the compressor mounting plate . While the compressor is running, and is at its loudest, loosen or tighten the two front hold down bolts until the noise goes away. Most likely, when you cooler was moved or transported off the shipping pallet, it was bent slightly allowing contact between the bottom of the compressor, and the mounting plate. Hope this helps.
First let me ask, are you sure the compressor is running? If you verified that it was running by vibrations in the compressor area just know that the condenser fan can also cause those if your machine has one. The way to tell is if the compressor is generating heat. With that said, assuming that the compressor is running, and all applicable fans are running, you need to determine if the machine was losing cool over time or did it happen overnight? If the latter of the two you'll need to isolate where the leak is, be it the evaporator or the compressor area. To actually add freon to the system if no access ports are available you;ll need to get a piercing valve, I personally use pt# bpv-31 bullet piercing valves.
A good test method is buy a rco-410 hard start relay. Once you have it, cut an old plug off something and leaving the plug intact, splice the two wires at the cut end with the two wires on thet really that don't have metal ends. Once that is done securly, unplug the fridgem take the really off the compressor and hook up the home made compressor tester. Once plugged in if the compressor is good it will come on, it it doesn't it's bad. This works becuase you remove any variables that are present with the machine hooked up normal.
Hi, The way you described the problem, I would be looking for a refrigerant leak... I think that it was low on charge and now it is so low that it will not cool at all...
Have a tech. find/fix the leak and recharge the unit...
sounds like the compressor is not running. The condenser fans are located at the compressor. The fans in the conditioned space are the evap fans. A refrig usually does not have any device controlling the evap fans, they are to run 24/7. Freezers have other controls. Start there and let me know if I can help further.
Is it very hot out side the unit.recharging may not hurt is it cleaned the lint could be trapping the radiator were the coolan goes through to cool down try cleanning underneath before recharging
