Evaporator Fan Motor This type of freezer has a fan motor which circulates air through the evaporator to be cooled. Over time, the fan motor parts can wear or lose lubrication, causing a humming, buzzing, or clicking noise in your freezer. To replace the fan motor, first unplug the power source to your freezer.
Why is my freezer buzzing loud?
Your freezer’s evaporator fan helps keep your appliance cool by circulating air and ventilating the evaporator coils. If the evaporator fan is damaged or worn-out, however, unusually loud clicking, buzzing, or humming sounds may arise. In addition, you might notice that your freezer is warmer than usual.
How do I stop my freezer from buzzing?
This can result in a humming noise during operation. While this doesn’t mean your freezer is failing, you should clean the coils. Disconnect the freezer’s power cord and clean the condenser coils and fan, which are typically at the back or top of the freezer, with a soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment.
