SOURCE: Last night my wife left the freezer door open.
The fan motor is probably laden with frost and ice. If you can remove the food and then get a hair dryer you can warm up the area in the rear of the freezer. This should remove the ice and frost, let it rest for a whilke and then plug it back in.

Hi, It is the evaporator fan motor you are hearing. The motor is the only thing that shuts off when the door is open. The fan motor is located behond the rear panel inside the freezer sections.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Look into the back of the freezer and if there is a layer of frost building on the rear panel it's possible that your refrigerator is not defrosting. If yes unplug and remove the frozen goods to the fresh food section. Remove the rear panel and defrost with a hair dryer or by setting a large bucket of hot water in freezer and close the door until the ice is melted.There are a few reasons for this happening and they are defrost heater, defrost thermostat, control board and other things that could cause this because of the way the refrigerator is designed. But the most likely reason is the defrost heater and defrost thermostat. Try defrosting and then letting me know what you find. If you need one one one free assistance I am here for you! Let me know what you find, Thanks, Sea Breeze

Keep an eye on the running time and temparture of the refrigerator. It will need time to return to normal cooling temps since the defrost and hot temps inside will take maybe a few more hours to reach normal. If not, get back with me and I will go through a step by step process on eliminations, If so I will need age of fridge, Make and Models Numbers, Thanks Sea Breeze
