GE Dss25KSRCSS Appliance started making a "whining" noise -- appears to be coming from freezer section. The noise ocillates in pitch, high to low like a wave when the freezer unit is running.

I don't know - I would describe the noise as being like the wind blowing across a chimney. I have never owned a fridge that didn't make such a noise as it grew older - while it was on a cooling cycle and afterwards it sounds like water trickling. It doesn't seem to affect the performance though and I manage to ignore it.

That could be either the color wheel or one of the fans. try listening to which area of the set its coming from.

Sounds like the evap motor and can be found at appliance parts pro part # AP3875639 $44.36/ the mother board if you would like to know is part #AP4436216 $134.95 but i would not waste the money.

Hi, Remove the rear inside freezer panel and you will be able to see the evaporator fan motor. The fan motor is what is squeeling.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

How To Fix Refrigerator Making High Pitched Noise

I am not posotive, but it sounds like you may have a piece of debris stuck in the fan underneath. You can check if you pull it out from the wall, make sure you unplug it as to not have the fan come on while you are toying. But thats what it sounds like. If that is not it, I am sure you could locate the noise with it pulled out from the wall, and go from there, Possibly your compressor, but sounds like the fan the way you're explaining it. Good luck

Fan motor is bad and needs to be replaced.

Ok maybe this may help .... there is a coil LL08 I believe... somtimes it creates a high pitch whine like you describe.. its stands up on the deflection board..it basicaly a large coil of copper wire....you can take silcon and put on the coil...in effect damping the ocillations...hope that might help

Sounds like its the evap fan motor to me. Not very easy to axcess. I have had one GE make the same noises you are describing to me. Let me know if you are going to attempt it and need more assistance
