The refrigerator makes a noise about every 4 minutes, like a it is trying to start something i don't think it is the ice maker

ice makers are cheaper
get a technician in to diagnose the fault properly before making the decision as the repair could be simple and cheap.

could be the ice maker or the evaporator fan motor.you can try lifting the arm up on the ice maker and see if it stops,this will shut off the ice maker.also when you open the freezer door to lift the arm on the ice maker the evap fan motor should start when you open the door,you should hear it blowing around,is this the noise you hear?these are the two things i can think of that could make a noise up top,if not it could be the compressor or the condenser fan motor but these are down the bottom back of machine but still could be the problem,if the ice maker and evap fan motor both in the freezer are ok pull out the machine and remove the bottom back panel and check to see if the noise is coming from there where the condenser fan motor and compressor are,you're going to have to do some detective work to find the noise,hope this helps you out.

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

it maybe your fan, going bad. or you have a ice build up, and its hitting the fan..if this is the case, you have a defrost issue. or a bad fan.

I think maybe there is a number missing in your model number. But I may be able to help you.You model came with different type of icemakers and some were mechanical and some were electronic. My concern is the popping noise you hear. I just found the part and your model is a RB195ZASH The main component of the ice maker is part number DA97-00258E I think you may need someone to have a look at the ice maker and make sure its not binding while rotating or the defrost heater may be remaining on. There also could be parts that are replaceable for your model but I will need to search for the complete parts list. I will do that for you and send you some links soon, Thanks Sea Breeze

No ,very possible it is due to expansion. There is a covering on the return pipe called armour flex. this armourflex stops ice migration inside the walls of the fridge. If it breaks away, the ice expands around the pipe and and pushes on the insulation foam which then cracks and makes those loud noises. Have heard this noise many times on a particular brand of fridge to a point where some customers have dived for the floor thinking they are being shot at. Repairing that problem is a biggish repair and not cheap. You will find if it is the compressor it normally only happens at either start up or switch off (a clattering sound)

it sounds like the compressor, or something near it. it is generally the only moving part in a refrigerator other than the door, so would be my first guess. If it is constantly running, but staying cool in the freezer there may be a small leak somewhere or the compressor is losing power, and pumping slower.

Hi: Go easy on my rating as this is just something to try. You say it dosn't have a dispenser. Does it have an Ice maker? If so is it hooked up? If not try raising the lever on the ice maker up to the off position. The water valve may ve trying to open and without water pressure it will make a noise. It would also be related to the switches on the door. I hope this helps, Jeff

I went in and knocked all the ice out and it started to work just fine.

on the back wall just above or under the fill tube youl find the wire harness , simply unplug the ice maker, while your at it 3 1/4 screws mount the ice maker to the side wall, youll have more room in freezer by removing it
