So true. We’ve got a Samsung that’s been nothing but a POS. It looks nice, but that’s about it.So long as you stay away from any Samsung refrigerator product. Our's is an LG. 0 issues

I suspect it's the fan behind the freezer that pushes cold air to the refrigerator. The part probably doesn't cost too much.I currently have a frigidaire model fghs2631pf4a.

It has an ice maker and water dispenser on the left side door (freezer door) and works. It was manufactured in 2015 and for about the past month its been makes a loud noise in the back left top side. Maybe it's the ice maker? Sounds like the compressor.
The unit still works but I figures maybe it's time to do the research for when the unit does die I'm ready to get a new one.
I don't need the ice maker and won't cry if it does not have the water filter feature either. I rarely use the ice or the water. Actually find that I would rather have the space for food in freezer than the ice maker area.
In any case any recommendations?
I have a upright stand alone freezer (slim design) for extra freezer space.
I do not like the units with the freezer on the bottom.
So looking mainly at another double door or perhaps back to the old fashion freezer on top.
My whirlpool side-by-side is over 20 yo now and still runs great although it’s on its second icemaker module.We have a Whirlpool SBS we bought when we moved into this house in 2004. 5 or so years ago my wife decided that one was too old and wanted a new one. I learned a long time ago to let her pick the appliances. (Long story).
She picked a Samsung French door type with all the bells and whistles. Unbeknownst to us these had a problem with the ice makers freezing up. We lived with it for years until I finally found a fix for it. Another $250 in it and the freezing up problem is fixed. Other than that it’s run fine.
Oh, and that Whirlpool? It’s still down in the basement…running fine.
Yes this!!! If I can find something like this I want it.
I'll have to look tomorrow.I suspect it's the fan behind the freezer that pushes cold air to the refrigerator. The part probably doesn't cost too much.
I would avoid Samsung and LG because of their compressors. I have a Bosch and haven't had any problems with it. If I was to get a cheaper brand, I would have considered a GE product because I could get parts local and have it back up and running right away.
is it a fan noise.I'll have to look tomorrow.
I pushed the unit out to see behind it.
Don't see any vents just the water lines.
The noise started up again a little while ago. Rather annoying but liveable if you are not in the kitchen.
The fan could be behind the freezer wall, probably top right. And will shut off when you open the freezer door.I'll have to look tomorrow.
