Why does my GE GWE19JYLGFFS fridge make this grinding noise?

This noise has been happening randomly for 5 months. I've had technicians out twice to fix, but when they arrived it stopped. I showed video footage of the issue and one guy said it was the 'yoder loop" and it would eventually stop. I think it's safe to say that's not going to happen at this point so any idea/suggestions you all may have on this I would appreciate.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi @mrstraightface

Don't know the reason but suggest that you purchase the service manual for the refrigerator and run the diagnostic tests and check if you can make the noise happen when running a test to hopefully find out what may be causing it

I realize that the refrigerator model linked is not the same but the two models use the same service manual i.e. GE mini manual part # 31-1000534. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a free download online. Perhaps verify with the seller what the manual's part number is before purchasing

If you do find the problem and it is a faulty part, here's a parts list that is useful. Find the required part and then search online for the part number only to find suppliers that suit you best.

If you determine that the problem is related to a sealed system component i.e. compressor, condenser, evaporator unit, filter dryer associated piping etc, consult the warranty section of the user manual for the refrigerator as with some models there's a longer warranty period for sealed section components than for other parts in the refrigerator, so it still may be covered by the warranty.
