My freezer is buzzing- loudly!

Is the buzzing coming from the compressor, or from the switch itself?

icemaker wont work in fridge. the buzzing sound might be the water solenoid operating and waiting for water level sensor to be happy. solenoid will make a loud harsh buzz check water supply to back of freezer and see if there is a lever on icemaker you can lift up to turn off.

at least it wasn't anything serious, happy sewing

I think you will find that your freezer is warming up. Check the temp inside the freezer. It should be between -10 and 0 degrees. If not, your buzzer will go off until this is repaired.

the loud buzzing is the freezer high temp alarm. dont know why its warm though.
make sure you don't store anything on top of or on the sides of the unit as the condenser of most freezers are buried in the walls of the unit and it will over heat the compressor. if unit is in a hot garage this will compound the problem.

it sounds like the compressor, or something near it. it is generally the only moving part in a refrigerator other than the door, so would be my first guess. If it is constantly running, but staying cool in the freezer there may be a small leak somewhere or the compressor is losing power, and pumping slower.

Hello psimmons304,
Yes it does sound like a issue for the fan. What i would do is look up the model on google and type in replacement fan. you should be able to find it that way.  If this doesn't answer your problem please post again.
Please post what you do and how you did it. I look forward to your posts.

Defective audio preamp IC. To a shop it must go, unless you fancy yourself a "techie"...accordianman

Out put Capacitor breaking down - needs a serive replacement if available.
