Question about Kenmore 64254 / 64252 / 64259 Top Freezer Refrigerator
The refrigerator makes huge noise momentarily (30-60 secs) at 10-15 minutes interval but it cools ok and make ice too.sometimes it is hard to sleep at night due to the noise. condensor copper tubing at the bottom of the refrigerator was covered with thick layer of dust which i cleaned using vacuum but didnt help. pl suggest possible remedy.
Dear Titu,
I have the same problem with your refrigerator. It was making noise periodcally.
I have just fixed it. This noise either produced by uneven fan or fan motor. This fan was designed for cooling down the thermostats.
I took the fan off and spined it manually. I heard the sound like car belt. You can check right behind the fan. You will see the metal stick from the motor to the fan. Then you can use WD1040 oil to spray onto the surface of the metal stick which is hook up to the motor. This noise is produced by dried condition between the the metal stick and the ring which use to hold the metal stick and the fan. Goodluck

New Kenmore / Whirlpool, 25 Ft. side x side. Has drumming noise when running. Checking showed that condenser coils rattle against compressor support rails plus the flimsey rails allow compressor vibration which resonates through out. Looks like Whirlpool cost-cutting crossed the line over to plain old cheapening the product. Waiting on Sears to come check it. Wish me luck. -JT

I have a Kenmore that is 3 years old and only just started making a loud knocking sound recently. It is very annoying and lasts for 30 seconds or so every hour or two. I took off the back panel and found that if I shake the compressor tank something inside bangs against the wall of the tank. So I leveled the fridge a little better and the frequency of the banging sounds have been reduced significantly.

Titu, can you be more specific on what kind of noise you're hearing. If it's a squealing noise I would suspect either the evaporator or condensor fan. See if you can isolate where it's coming from. Catriver..post back.

My refirgerator makes a loud clanging noise,2-3 clangs, when it shuts down. A repairman suggested the compressor is going. The fridge is only 9 yrs. old. What's your opinion? Time to shop for a new one?
we have a very loud noise coming out of the back of our refrigerator
lots of noise and a shuddering end to the noise. all else good.
Mine is a year and 4 months old GE refrigerator, and does exactly the same thing you described. The sound seems to come out from the back of the refrigerator. All else work fine. I don't know if I should be concerned. The noise bothers me a lot.
My GE Profile Refrigerator makes big noise when the condenser is shutting down. Cleaning of the radiator grill did not help. The cooling is OK so far
