I have a Frigidaire GSI 26, ffor the last couple of days it has been making a buzzing sound that lasts about thirty seconds to a minute, today the freezer quit working. the compressor is hot, as is th

SOURCE: Buzzing sound

the buzzing sound is the compressor trying to start. Unfortunately, it is locked up and the overload is cutting it out. It resets every couple of minutes or so. The problem is the compressor. You can try a hard start capacitor to see if it breaks loose, this is the cheap fix, otherwise it needs a new compressor, the expensive one.

Gazzo, You are on the right track. I've been finding a lot of compressor failures on these Amana's. It's possible that the overload and relay for the compressor failed, but Im more inclined, from what I've seen, that the compressor is the problem. The compressor is covered under warranty, parts and labor for 5 years. I would call for warranty service...Catriver...post back.

clean the heck out of the coils underneath and give the manufacture a call, you should be covered by a 5 yr warr on your compressor(reason i say clean it is if they come see it clogged they'll blame you and deny your warr.stating cust abuse

It sure sounds like a compressor problem to me. The buzzing sound is the compressor trying to start followed by a click which would be the overload protector tripping.

In back of the refrigerator is a removable panel behind which is the compressor. Listen for a hum and a click. If you hear those sounds the compressor may have failed. Behind that same panel is a condenser where heat is removed from the refrigerating system. Make sure it is clean and check that the fan operates when the compressor runs.
