1. The first thing you need to do is to check the fan. This is the usual origin of the noise. Get the manual of your fridge and search the evaporator fan motor. It is commonly found at the back or the lowest of the fridge. Remove the cover and find out if the noise is arrival from the fan installed in it. Replace the fan with a new one.

2. If the noise is arrival from inside the fridge, it is probably caused by the defrost timer of the machine. Try locating the timer near the control area. Have it substituted by a professional. A professional can install the new timer better.

3. Also check the back of the fridge. Check if the noise is arrival from the compressor. Remove the back panel of the fridge and check the compressor. If something is obstructing the compressor or the fan, Remove it. You might also need to turn the compressor or the fan at the back of the machine.

4. Try cleaning the coils. It could be the machine overworking itself in maintaining the right level of climatic characteristic inside. The sudden increase in climatic characteristic commonly happens when the coils cannot exhaust hot air easily. This happens if you do not commonly clean the back of the fridge. Use a shop vacuum to clean the coils.

5. You might also want to leave at least 3 inches of space in in the middle of the fridge and the wall of your kitchen. When installing, you need to give the machine ample space to breathe and exhaust hot air. This will prevent the interior of the machine from getting warmer. In doing so, it will stop forcing the motor to work harder.

Keeping your fridge clean prevents noise problems. Also avoid occasion and windup the door of the machine frequently. I found out that the machine tends to yield a lot of noise when it is working harder to lower down the climatic characteristic inside. If you frequently open and close the door, the climatic characteristic inside will increase.
