Hello Usually a light oil.Wd 40. Most of these motors are sealed bearings,meaning they do not get oiled.When they start making noise it means the motor bearings are getting worn and the motor will need to be replaced soon.
I have got 5 to 6 months out of noisy motors using a light household oil or WD 40.
Good day,
The machine has 3 motors. The fan motor behind the rear panel in the freezer and a condenser fan motor located near the compressor that cools the compressor. If one of those 2 are an issue you should be able to change the bad one. It's pretty much a nuts and bolts job.
However, if it's the compressor, leave it alone. It carries a 5 year warranty. Call your selling dealer and schedule a warranty service call.
if its just humming and not starting you may have a motor start capacitor on the motor thats bad and can't supply the starting voltage against the compressor
if its brand new then should be under warranty, get it fixed by the shop you bought it from and keep going back to them till its fixed properly. Might be a loose connection, maybe faulty earth to compressor motor. needs to be checked by a qualified technician.
If the noise seems to be coming from the compressor That's usually mounts inside thecompressor. It could still last awhile so if you can put up with thenoisejust wait for it to
quit before replacing thecompressoror getting a new
fridge. Also you have two fans which run when the compressor runs. One is next to the compressor and the other is behind the rear cover inside the freezer. One of them can be hitting something or the fan motor itself could be making the noise which would be a bad motor.
the over-current relay is tripping out the compressor motor to prevent excessive current through motor windings. To prove this theory, open unit, find motor wires, disconnect wires from unit, and apply 120VAC to motor using external circuit-breaker source. Run 2 minutes max. If motor continuously turns, then relay is failing. Find it by tracing wires back to source and finding a small rectangular item. If motor again quits after 2 seconds, then this motor has an internal over-current self-resetting fuse that may be doing its job of preventing an electrical overload from a dead (shorted) motor.
