Model no. LFHT1817LW1 - The buzz comes and goes. Also, outside front edge gets warm. Is this a problem?
Hello friend, thank you for your post!
I understand that your Frigidaire refrigerator, LFHT1817LW1, is buzzing or humming. With modern, high efficiency compressors you may hear a high pitched humming or pulsating sound. Additionally, if you have an icemaker equipped inside of your refrigerator the water valve may produce a buzzing noise as the valve opens to fill the icemaker with water. I hope this has been helpful. -Matt

yup...the condenser fan is not running at the back or the condenser is very dirty.
remove the front lower grill and look underneath. see if there are a lot of dust and dirt accumulated in the font of the condenser. use a good vacuum cleaner to get to the dirt.
open the rear cover and check the condenser fan if it is not sticking up or if it is not binding.
use some lubricating oil on the bushings if they are.
the fan should come on as the compressor runs with out any pushing needed.
tnx 4 using fixya,

I had the same problem. I found the buzzing noise was caused by ice build up around the fan motor inside the freezer. I believe water must have leaked down around the fan during a defrost cycle. I removed the ice maker, the ice cube bin and ice dispenser auger motor. It sounds complicated, but it isn't too bad. The ice maker and auger are connected with quick connect plugs. So just unplug, remove the screws and remove them from the freezer. You will need to remove several other screws as well, I believe 11 in total as well as the top freezer rack. This will give you access to the white aluminum panel that runs from the top of the freezer to about halfway down the back of the freezer. After you remove the aluminum panel you will see the fan about half way down the freezer. I found a lot of ice around my fan. The fan blades were hitting the ice causing the buzz. Remove the ice and the buzzing is gone. It took me an hour to complete this repair. I hope this helps.

HI, The nouse you are hearing is the relay on the compressor. It is possible the relay is going bad but, there is also a chance the conpressor is the problem. You should get a service amn to check it out. I would hate to se you change the relay and then the compressor ruin that too.
I hope tis helps.

This is because the mullion heaters are on. This is a system designed to dry up sweating that occurs on the outside of the box in high humidity. Check to see that all the door seals are tight.

Hello Kchoffman73,
It sems we developed the same problem.
The hum seems to be coming from the bottom rear of the
fridge.
we have a GE side-by-side model TFX25JR.
The fridge is about 12 years old.
Whats the status of your fridge ? Did it ever stop
humming ? Did you replace or repair it ?
Does it still work ?
Thanks
Hey Joanne, I appreciate your inquiry!
Based off my understanding the freezer side of your Frigidaire refrigerator is making a loud humming noise. The humming sound could be coming from your compressor. If the sound is a new development it may be a possible issue with the fan pushing further against the wall. You may need to seek help from a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. This will help you from purchasing any unnecessary parts. Hope this information is helpful to you. -Matt
