Amana ABB1924BRM 18.2 cu ft Bottom Freezer Refrigerator with Frost-Free Operation Noisy Operation Error Fix: Unusual Buzzing, Clicking, or Humming Noise

The refrigerator is making unusual noises. Normal operational sounds include gentle humming (compressor), soft whooshing (airflow), and occasional clicking (thermostat or defrost timer cycling). Abnormal sounds: (1) Loud buzzing — the condenser fan or evaporator fan motor bearings may be worn; also check if the condenser fan blade is hitting something. (2) Repeated clicking — the compressor relay is trying to start the compressor but failing; the relay/overload or compressor may be faulty. (3) Rattling — something is touching the compressor or fan; check for items on top of or behind the refrigerator. (4) Squealing — fan motor bearings are failing.
