ApplianceS We Repair
We can repair anything from ice build-up, to water leaking, to no cooling at all or loud, scary noises coming from your refrigerator. Or the refrigerator may not be running or cycling on and off at all.
How to Troubleshoot Sub-Zero Refrigerator or Freezer Noises?
Determine whether the noise is humming, vibrating, singing, crackling, knocking, or sizzling, and note any patterns or triggers.
2. Determine if the Noise is Normal
Some noises, such as humming or vibration, are normal operating sounds for your Sub-Zero appliance. Consult your user manual to identify what sounds are expected during normal use.
If the noise is a normal operating sound, it is generally safe to continue using your unit. If you’re unsure or concerned about safety, contact a professional technician for assistance.
4. Check for Common Causes
- Inspect the fan blade and motor for proper operation. If you suspect a malfunction, contact a technician for repairs.
- Examine the freezer for ice build-up on the fan. If present, defrost the freezer to remove the ice.
- Check for obstructions due to overfilling your unit. Rearrange items or remove some to prevent blockages and allow for proper airflow.
- Verify that the noise is related to normal operation by consulting your user manual.
If a buzzing noise stops when a drawer or door is opened, or a knocking noise stops after a door or drawer is closed, this may indicate an issue with a fan motor or obstruction. Investigate further using the steps above.
If you suspect a specific fan motor is causing the noise, try unplugging the unit, then disconnecting and reconnecting each fan motor one by one. Plug the unit back in and listen for the noise to determine which fan is responsible. If necessary, contact a technician for repairs.
A red glow inside the freezer section may indicate the defrost heater is operating. This is a normal part of the defrost cycle and should not cause concern.

Common Issues with Refrigerators That Are Not Cooling
- Dirty Condenser Coils: Dusty coils can’t release heat properly, forcing the fridge to work harder. Clean them if dirty to restore cooling efficiency.
- Faulty Condenser Fan Motor: This fan cools the compressor and coils. If it’s stuck or not spinning freely, replace it. Use a multimeter to check for continuity.
- Broken Evaporator Fan Motor: This fan circulates cold air inside. If the fridge isn’t cold but the freezer is, the motor may be failing. Check for noise, spinning issues, or lack of continuity.
- Broken Thermistor: Monitors temperature and signals the control board. If resistance doesn’t change with temperature, replace it.
- Malfunctioning Thermostat: Controls power to cooling components. Turn the knob—if no click, continuity test. Replace if there’s no response.
- Bad Start Capacitor: Provides the compressor with a power boost. If faulty, the compressor won’t start. Test and replace if necessary.
- Failed Control Board: Supplies voltage to fans and compressor. Rarely fails, so test other components first before replacing it.
- Defective Start Relay: The relay powers the compressor. A failed relay may prevent cooling. Continuity test and replace if there's no reading or a burnt smell.
Common Causes of Loud Noises in Whirlpool Top-Load Washers
- Worn Tub Bearing: Located under the tub, this bearing helps the drum spin smoothly. When worn, it causes loud grinding or squealing during spins and can lead to further damage.
- Damaged Drive Pulley: Connects the motor to the belt. If cracked or loose, it causes belt slippage, creating squealing or thumping noises during the spin cycle.
- Worn Drive Belt: Transfers motor power to the drum. A stretched or frayed belt can slip or rub, producing high-pitched squeals or slapping sounds.
- Failing Motor Coupling: Links the motor to the transmission. When worn, it may break or slip, causing vibration, scraping sounds, or inconsistent drum movement.
- Worn Clutch Assembly: Helps the drum reach spin speed. A worn clutch can squeal, scrape, and leave clothes wetter due to incomplete spin cycles.
