The light is switched on and off by a small lever which is pushed when closing or opening the door. This operates a microswitch. It would not make any grinding noise. Grinding noise can come from the fanmotor which would also stop when the fridge door is open.

Check the damper in the top back of the fresh food section. make sure that it is open and air is coming through it.

The motor is an "auto damper" that opens/closes to let cold air from the freezer comp. into the refer comp. depending on the temp. There is nothing you can do for maintenance, the little motor runs the damper when needed automatically. Some motors are quiet, some are noisy (grind grind grind) as the open and close. Sort of the nature of the beast, if you're lucky you get one that stays quiet.

ck to make sure the condensor fan and evaporator fans are working.

Yes it could be, I would check the start capacitor with a Volt meter. Or if you can take it off and have a service center check it for you. Unplug the refrigerator first before you do that. Also the compressor could be going out makeing it harder to start. And if that is the case you could ask the service center if they have a hard start kit for your unit if the start capacitor is OK. Hope this helps.

Sounds like it is not defrosting . Either the defrost timer, heater or thermostat. Leave the bottom door open for 24 hours and will probably work again for about a week till repaired.
