Another good vid. I have heard that fan noise in a few freezers over the years. The spookiest one I recall was when my wife and I were going to move to a rental house. The place needed alot of fix up before moving in and the Landlord didn't care what I did as long as my work was good. So I was in the place doing some sheetrock and painting when I kept hearing what sounded like low talking conversation. Like muttering, but couldn't make out where it was coming from as the sound was intermittent. So I would be working and when I got quiet I could hear this "talking". Middle of the night, 2am, 3am. Had to work on the place into the nights cuz I had a day job. Went on for several weeks. Long story short, I came to realize this "talking" was chatter from the freezer motor going on and off normally and making the intermittent sound like the freezer you were working on. Was a little spooky and frustrating in the middle of the night. Anyway, I put a drop or two of "3 in 1" oil on the shaft close to the bearing and that quieted it down, for awhile. Got a new fridge from the owner. It was OLD. "They don't make 'em like they used to." Maybe they never did.😄 Cheers!
I'm saving this video in case this problem happens. My fridge is not new so as much as I hope I never have to do this job, I will be happy to have the video if I have to!
Whoever lived there sure did have the balls to call you 🤣😅😂 Great little vid , fun to watch ... Thx for posting these as they are both educational and entertaining ...
My Kenmore fridge made noisy sound so I turned it off and waited few minutes and turned it back on. That fixed issue for couple days. Was going to buy a replacement fan buy got a sticker price shock. It cost 10% of the cost of my 20 years old fridge. I finally took the evaporate fan out and cleaned it. I greased it with a synthetic motor oil (5W20) around the coil winding and shaft. After that it was running quieter than ever.
I have a GE it's the same noise. How much u charge 4 parts and labour if u don't mind. Also I can get a brand new fridge for 600 this GE u think is junk?
I work at an apartment complex so the service is part of their rent payment every month so I don't charge them. GE isn't what it used to be. But neither is anything else.
I worked on two back to back. The freezer fan motor and the cooling fan motor on the compressor below were exactly the same motor...they were doing the wobble
Be sure to check your grommets it can make your fan motor loud. Its the round red things between the fan motor and the mounting bracket and theres 2 more small ones on the side of the fan attached to the bracket. He is missing one of the small ones on the right. Which could be the problem considering its intermittent and how he could tap it to make the sound. Put one of those pencil eraser in there till you get the part. Lol
dude I literally had a call yesterday on the same issue on a brand new GE refrigerator. When I would walk in, it makes no noise. But she would call me saying that it's making noises again. I think it's under warranty, so a GE tech can deal with it lol
Quality GE products. 😆 The fridge in this video is not even 3 years old. Yet my grandmother's 1968 refrigerator has never been worked on and is still working. Thank you so much for watching Chris!
We replace our appliances with new GE and Hotpoint appliances (same brand I know” and any time I start up any of the new dishwashers they already sound broke 😂 we’ve had multiple ge techs come out to look at the fridges and dishwashers
PS if the air isn't blowing down into the refrigerator section, make sure the Styrofoam from shipping isn't still in place. Save you from buying a new fan motor.
So true. Thank you for taking time and pointing that out. I'll have a chat with the camera man and get that cleaned up for you. Thank you so much for watching!

I'd need to be there for this head scratcher 🤔.
I just have to ask, why are there golf balls in the freezer?
😆 who knows. Thank you so much for watching Dan!
@@LexVance thought it might have been a golfer's trick.
I was going to ask the same thing. Maybe it's to hit her enemies?
Because they won't fit in the oven. (cough)
For the dog a chew toy like a popsicle
Great video, that freezer is way too pack.
So true! You're right. Thank you so much for watching Kel!
