Get bubbling sound for a while and then it stops. Then it starts back up for a while. The unit is in the wall. The condenser coils were 75 % plugged till I was able to get someone to clean them to about 25 % now. There are also plants close to one side of the coils that are about a couple of inches away. The top is clear.
An older fridge can make some strange noises. Mine sounds like wind blowing across a chimney.
A friend also complained his fridge sometimes sounded as though it was boiling. Someone told him to turn it upside down for a time and then right way up four 4 hours before switching on again.
He rang me thinking the guy was crazy but I told him I had heard something similar many years ago and in fact I had actually followed the instructions I was given and turned the fridge end-over-end a few times and restored it to health. My friend also seems to think his fridge sounds better...
SOURCE: clean condenser coils
Its not easy but a flexable vacume hose would help. and aslo you can take the end peice off and try to get it from the inside to. Good Luck
SOURCE: Compressor starts/stops alot. Compressor is hot coils are cool
The compressor is covered for at least three years, give a call to the number listed on the owner's manual to validate warranty and get the replacement.

hello my is leroy, have u check the freon levels for the unit.

Hi Carol,
Interestingly enough, I answered a similar question just the other day. Maybe there's an outbreak of lazy factory technicians who "forget" to tighten the hinge brackets? Hmmmm. Makes on wonder...
Anyway, it's easy... The door alignment adjustment is done at the top hinge. Pull up a step-stool, then remove the hinge cover. Under there you'll see three screws, I think they're 5/16". Loosen these (since your door has dropped, they're probably already loose), then lift up on the door handle to align it with the other door... while keeping the door aligned, tighten the hinge screws (and put alot of torque on 'em to keep 'em from loosening in the future). Now just replace the hinge cover and your done!

Yes, you should remove the upper cover and check the back side of the condenser as Duo-Therms pull air in from the sides and blow it through the coils from inside the shroud. This usually will cause the compressor to shut down, but only after running for awhile. When you notice that the unit is not cooling as well, or not at all, got up on the roof and remove the shroud, check to see if the compressor is actually running. If the compressor is shut off, the problem lies elsewhere in the system. Check to see if the compressor is cycling on and off or if once it is off it stays off.
If you have a wall thermostat control, check for 12VDC power at the yellow wire when the compressor is off. If power is present, then remove the control box from inside the inner shroud of the unit and check for power at the yellow wire in the there. If it is still present, check for 120VAC power at the compressor relay (black wire with Purple or Blue wire). If the purple or blue wire have 120VAC power, then the problem is upstairs either with start capacitor or the thermal overload (located on top of Compressor). If there is no power at the purple or blue wire, try unplugging the freeze control and jumper the connection on the board (blue connection, white wires) with a small piece of wire, if the compressor comes on and runs, then you have a bad freeze control. If not, then you have a bad control board.
If you have manual controls on the ceiling unit, you could have a bad thermostat. Unplug power from the unit and remove the two wires on the back of the thermostat. With an ohmmeter, check for continuity between the two terminals, if there is, turn the knob and watch the meter. You should not lose connection until the temperature you set is above the temp. inside the unit. If this is ok, then you need to check the selector switch. Also check the components in the upper unit as described in the above paragraph.
Hope this helps,
Jeff
