Noisy fan? noisy at times sounds like a cd whirring around inside

there are 2 places to check....Not sure of the model of your fridge but on the backLook for the compressor fan...make sure it is clean and free of dirt...Alot of times there are located on the back but I have seen a couple older ones where the fan is located on the bottom....They get clogged with dust and dirt/....but for a noisy loud fan I suspect your fan inside the fridge is partially frozen...condensation collects around these fans alot and freezes ...the ice hitting and rubbing against the fan itself...so located the fan on the inside....It is usually towards the bottom and behind the little drawers...and hidden behind a sheild of some sort....defrost with a hairdryer if needed....good luck.

If its a loud "whirring" noise almost grindy...you need to replace that fan...it's about to fail. if it's a vibration type of noise, you should try tightening the screws first...if it's coming from processor fan, replace it before you fry your processor...

Yes, open the side cover and determine where the noise is coming from - Harddrive, fans, DVD/CD player, etc.. If it's the harddrive, start backing up your important data asap before it goes out completely. If it's a fan, power down the computer and clean the fan. If it's t DVD/CD drive, replace the drive.

Hi, It sounds to me like the evaporator fan motor is faulty. They will quit working after they make a noise like that, bearings and windings.You have a door switch that stops the fan when you open the door, that opens the contacts on the motor. It should have come back on when closing door. Now you say it has quit cooling,so if this motor has not come back on and is not running quietly, it will need to be removed and replaced.It may be difficult for you if you are going to do this yourself, but if your up to it, you can save yourself some $.You can buy a new one at an appliance parts house, or get all of the info from you're unit and go online to order one.They have universal motors to fit also.It would be a 120volt sealed motor with a plastic or aluminum blade.Try and remove it yourself if you are able, if not you will need to call out the tech which can get costly. Best of Luck to you and please keep me posted.Have a good night, Sincerely,

The whirring sound is the fan that blows cold air into the refrigerator. It is supposed to stop when the door is opened. If it is making a loud noise there may be ice built up in the fan housing. Turning the power to the refrigerator off for a 2-4 hours may allow any ice in the fan to melt. If you do not open the freezer during that time the frozen food will not defrost.If the noise continues, you may have to take the fan apart to make sure it is not frozen. It is probably located behind the back inside panel of the freezer.

have you opened the case and cleaned the fans with a fine brush?

if it's a continuous whirring sound it is most likely the cooling fan. this is normal. as the computer gets older this will get noticably louder as the fan has to run faster to prevent overheating.

I would check the CPU fan, if you can "clean" is with high pressure air that may be your problem, also the power supply fan do the same with

Hello,

Most cases it came from the power supply fan. however sometimes came from cpu fan. or in video fan. This is due power shorted. Its easy to replace fan its only plug in..just bring the sample fan to the vendor of your pc.

may this help.

Sounds like you have a noisy color wheel. Very common on all Samsung DLP`s. The part # is BP96-00250A for model HLN5065W.
