My refrigerator is a GE Profile GSH25JFRFBB side-by-side unit. It's a little more than a year old.
There is a low pitched howling/humming noise coming from the freezer compartment. The noise is not constant but cycles on and off every 15 minutes. It will make the noise for a period of time then suddenly stop then resume again after several minutes.
The only way to permanently stop the noise is to turn the freezer thermostat control to off and leave it there. Alternatively, if I turn it to off, wait a few seconds, then turn it on again the noise stops for a few minutes (even though the air is circulating) but eventually it starts again.
I've listened to the fan circulating the air between the freezer and the refrigerator sides but that does not appear to be the problem.
Could this be a defective thermostat, timer or something else?
Thanks for any input.
