Question about KitchenAid KTRS22EM Top Freezer Refrigerator
Actually this is a KTRS22MAW10 but the model # above seemed the closest. The refrigerator is loud most of the time. I opened the freezer and it is NOT noiser in the freezer. I am assuming it's the compressor running all the time because sometimes it stops & it isn't noisy. But I am basically incompetent at mechanical things so this could be wrong. Coils are under the fridge. I've tried cleaning with a large flat duster. Interestingly, when that is pushed in it seems quieter. I have not yet tried the vacuum. I'm a little worried about that --should I turn off the power first. The fridge was manufactured in Feb 1994 and installed in May so I assume a repair call is not worth it. Thanks.

When you state "it's the compressor running all the time", does this mean it hardly shuts off? if so need more freon

If the microwave is loud or noisy only when cooking, the magnetron tube might be defective. The magnetron uses high voltage, high current DC power to generate the microwave frequency that cooks the food. Under normal circumstances the magnetron is nearly silent. However if it is damaged or nearly burned out it can begin emitting high pitched or growling noises. It's not normally dangerous to use a microwave oven when it makes these noises, but they are an indication that the magnetron is almost dead and will need to be replaced.

If the microwave is loud or noisy the stirrer motor might be worn out. The stirrer is a metal blade which slowly turns around, deflecting the microwave energy in a random pattern inside the microwave oven. As the motor nears the end of its useful life it begins to make grinding noises. The microwave will not heat food evenly without this stirrer, the motor should be replaced.

If the microwave is loud or noisy the turntable motor might be worn out. This is a common problem and relatively easy to replace.

Update May 13:
5/12 removed panel on bottom of back & kick plate; cleaned & vacuumed coils & fan; did not make any difference at all.
motor/compressor noise is loud hum most of the time; when silent it's a blessing.
fixable or time to start hunting?
