@plasticpunch Haha. Maby u are right! In that case I can eat as much as i want nowdays! No more sounds after the repairman was here :)

watch the video of mine i just put up, similar sound. The thing I hate is when a technician comes over it doesn't make the sound!

I had a guy over here today to take a look at it. He said that it is the icecubesensor that overfills the icebox. One icecube had apperantly fallen down on to a fan. It would then make that noice untill it had melted or "crushed" by the fan. He was going to replace the sensorarm so the icebox wont get overfull.

@sjefern How did he access the fan to remove the ice cube? Through the back of the fridge?

[sjefern]

@bwmw123 The fan actually took care of the icecube by it self. I guess it got chopped up in a few hours. So all the technichian did was replace the sensorarm so that the icebox dont overfills again.

Don't call a service guy. Defrost the freezer for a few hours. You can take a hair dryer to the fan to speed things up. Had the same problem, did this and it works fine now.

I've learned over the years, with refrigeration devices (friges, air conditioners), when they stop working, the first thing you should do is turn them off for a few hours, or even overnight. Learned this the hard way, when I had a repairman come out one time, he took the condenser fan, was gone for two days, and then came back out 2 days later when the 'part came in'. Someone later told me, that he had likely simply cleaned up and let the thing thaw out, & didn't actually replace the fan.
