Refrigerator Issues – Fixing Clicking Noise and Temperature Problems

We had a similar odd sound from the back of our refrigerator.

There's a few different parts back there that can make noise: The compressor, condenser fans, and defrost timer. Apparently the fans can be cleaned fairly easily, and the timer can be replaced if its electric motor starts making noise.

In my case, we called in an independent service technician (found via Service Magic). He diagnosed the problem for us at no charge. Unfortunately for us it was the compressor, and a new unit would cost almost as much as a new fridge, so we ended up getting a new fridge.

But in your case, maybe you're lucky and it's one of the other parts.

This model fridge like all fridges has a drain hole for the water to run out during the defrost cycle, with your fridge the drain hole is located behind the back wall in the freezer, in order to get to it the Wall has to be removed. You may need professional help. You have to remove the freezer door, The slide out drawer and ice maker,if it has one.The side rails need to be removed that hold up the slide out drawers.Now your ready to remove the back wall.now you Will have to melt the ice and remove it from the pan,once you find the drain hole you Will need to clean it out. Now you have to go behind the fridge,remove the back cover at the bottom and locate the drain tube, on the end off the tube you Will find what is called a duck bill, that needs to be pulled off and cleaned,once you do all that your ready to put it all back together.. Hope this helps you.
