Grill buzzing hi my G/F grill gr30vttsil model no 10099, has been working fine until today when switched on and the lid lowered it is making a loud buzzing noise. This stops when the lid is raised, the plates still heat up. Is this a sign it unsafe to use & needs either new parts or to be replaced. regards

No, a buzzing noise merely means that something is vibrating from the magnetic field that is created when power flows through the heating elements. As long as nothing is obviously loose, the grill is safe to use.

Series 90 with loud buzzing/grinding noise, won't spin

It could have gone out of balance. See if the drum looks off center and center it if necessary. Turn it off and back on to reset the switch. If that doesn't work, try pressing on the lid either 2/3 of the way back on the right or all the way back on the left (depends on the model -- try both) and see if it starts. If it does, I would suspect the lid switch.

Loud buzzing sound. warm fridge and freezer

Could not find info for the model listed could it be PFS22SBASS...any way the most common reason for your issue is the main motherboard part #WR55X10942
prices vary $180 - $200. The circuit that operates the compressor is most likely at fault. Most boards are located at rear of unit lower right, it controls all refer functions. Not hard to instal,l but due to the cost most electrical parts bought are not returnable.

Whirlpool cabrio-buzzing noise when water runs

i think the problem that you have is one of the electric coils from the entrance valve from water. Check if there the vibration comes from there.

Whirlpool LSR model Washing machine

The lid switch on your model is located by the left lid hinge under the cabinet. It is activated by a rod on the left lid hinge. If you open and close the lid, you should hear a clicking sound as the switch is activated. If you can't hear the switch, sometimes bending the rod on the lid hinge will correct most contact problems. I haven't seen many of these type lid switches go bad. Its almost always been a simple adjustment to correct a contact issue.

Now, if you are sure you switch is good, the loud hum sounds like you have a drive motor seized up. Try removing the motor to see if it will free spin. The following link explains how:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r599953-replacing_drive_motor_kenmore_or

The motor comes out fairly easily if you follow the steps in the link provided. This will make the motor more accessible to you. If the motor will free spin, check the motor windings by taking resistance checks to be sure. There should be a wiring diagram located inside the operator console.

Your motor also has a motor start switch. If the motor and windings check good, you may have a defective start switch. I apologize for not having definite solutions here, but I'm trying to be as thorough as possible. Its often hard to determine a cause based on some symptoms, as there could be several possiblities.

If you go to searspartsdirect.com and type in your model number, there's an excellent exploded view diagram of the drive components under the "Brake/Clutch/Gearcase/Motor and Pump" heading. The drive motor and switch are listed as items 19 and 20. The lid switch is located under the "Top and Cabinet Parts" heading as item number 11.

I hope some of this information is helpful to you. Let me know if I can be of further assistance to you.
