what may cause a vibration sound when the refrigerator turns on?
For model number GIE18GSHMRSS
Hi Laura, thank you for the question. First, you may need to check if the refrigerator is levelled properly. Excessive vibrating may be caused by the refrigerator not having been levelled properly. Check to make sure the floor is level, and adjust the refrigerator levelling screws to ensure the feet lay firmly against the ground. If the refrigerator is level, then you may need to check the condenser coils. Over time, these coils can become dusty, which can affect how well they transfer the coolant. This, in turn, can cause the compressor to work harder to perform the same task of cooling the refrigerator and freezer, causing the motor to run harder and longer, often creating a noise. If the coils are clean, then you may need to check the ice maker, part number PS1993870. The ice maker in your refrigerator can also cause the unit to vibrate more than normal. Typically, ice makers will vibrate slightly when they are in the process of making ice. However, when the ice maker experiences component issues, disconnections, or loose wires, the motor may start to vibrate more than normal. If that is not causing the issue, then you may need to check the compressor, part number PS16220368. If you notice your refrigerator vibrating harder or becoming louder, chances are that the compressor may need to be inspected. If it is faulty, you may need to replace it. We hope this helps!
I removed two srews from the back panel inside fthe reezer compartment and the two that hold the air manifold/baffle? and pulled the baffle out. Then, I removed the two srews that hold the front part of the fan bracket behind the baffle and the back panel came out easily. Two more screws and one quick connect plug attached to the fan and I was done with removal. Insallation was even quicker, I slid the original fan right off the old motor and slid it on the new motor's shaft. Piece of cake! Thanks Partselect.
the repair was really easy!!! took longer to put the little clip on the fan part than it was to install the whole moter and put everthing back together
My husband put on the defrost timer. At first I thought the part was not going to fix the problem. After about 5 hours my refrigerator was still warm. I went to work and when I got home that evening my refrigerator was cooling and down to 28 degrees. So if you replace this part wait at least 12-24 hours. Give it time to stablize. My husband says it has to go through its cycle. It works on a 24 hour timer. My refrigerator is working fine and this has saved me alot of money. My husband says, once you put on the timer you may have to use a flat screwdriver and turn the small dial clockwise one click to start it. He removed the kick grill and replaced the part. Dont forget to shut breaker off to replace this part. Turn power back on and start the timer. We are so happy that we now have a working refrigerator.
