High Pitch Refrigerator Sounds

[miller1717]

My Samsung refrigerator make a very high pitched noise.  The noise is NOT constant.

The model # is RF34H9950S4/AA

I have opened the back of the refrigerator and the sound is NOT related to the condenser large fan at the rear of the refrigerator.

It appears to be coming from the area of the rear left condenser (when looking at the rear of the refrigerator).

The following videos provide more details.

Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions.

Sounds like a shaft of a motor without lubrication in the 1st video. The second video is more on point possibly compressor or condenser motor. I'd contact Samsung customer service and schedule an appointment for repair if your keeping the refrigerator.

I have a service tech coming tomorrow.

I'm worried that they won't do anything because the sound is not constant and it may not be audible when they are at my house.

Thanks.

Play those two videos for the service tech. What you don't need is have the cooling go out and lose hundreds of dollars of foods due to spoilage.
