Freezer started thawing refer. is making a buzzing every few minutes.is running but not cooling.
Sounds like it needs re-gassing! since it buzzes bus not cooling
From your description it sounds as if the compressor is not starting up. the buzzing noise usually occurs approx. ever 3-5 minutes and is followed by a click. this indicates either a bad start relay or a stuck compressor. and from the model you listed it is most likely the compressor. if the unit is under 5 yrs old it should still be in warranty thru sears.
Thanks for using FixYa Peyton
