SOURCE: FREEZER SOUNDS VERY NOISY

Fridge problem could be the fan is bad or that it is hitting ice. When the noise is kind of a buzzing like it is hitting ice...defrost your unit by unplugging and waiting a day or so for full melt out...then check your door gaskets for cleanliness and good seal.

Thanks.

SOURCE: vibrating noise from freezer/fridge?

take the cover off the fan in the freezer section and see if the fan blade is loose or hitting ice the blade just pushes on make sure the mountings are tight its probably the blade but you might need to replace the motor if i reamber correctly on the cover there is a screw at the bottom you remove then slide the cover up and its on hooks plastic hooks built on the cover ok

SOURCE: Loud whirring noise that stops when freezer door is open.

It is most likely your circulation fan in the freezer. Normally the fan stops when you open the door. It is a normal operation. Check to make sure that the fan is not blocked by frozen items or that the fan doesn't have an ice build up. On some models the fans stops when you open the door and starts a few minutes later after you close the door.

SOURCE: Fan noise loud, bulb burst. Replaced with new bulb. Noise even louder! Unit shuts itself off.

the bulb may have burst from overheating from a fan not working to cool it down. and it can be replaced. it does take, however, a while to replace it because you have to take half of it apart. but make sure it's the fan first. take the lamp door off and remove the lamp. use something small and thin to push in the switch that the lamp door usually activates. turn the projector on and see if the lamp fan and the colorwheel (the multicolor glass disk) are spinning. if the fan spins, the noise may be from the colorwheel motor going bad. the fan can be purchased through an infocus authorized service center. check the website for the closest one. but the colorwheel for the x1 cannot be purchased seperately from the optical engine, and that costs a fortune. but here is the part number for the 80mm fan- 526-0152-00.

I have a IOTA DLS 45 that is making strange sounds. The strange sound is variable and stops altogether at times. Is it the fan that would be making this noise? If not what else could it be?
About the only thing that could make noise is the cooling fan. Does it sound louder when you've just hooked up and started charging the batteries? When you've got a lot of things drawing 12v DC power? Only other noise might be arcing by a short circuit or crackling of a fire!! ;)

Started making excessive noise, louder and louder, then fan froze up
if by froze you mean stopped turning, it sounds like the bearings are shot. Unless it's designed to have the bearings replaced in the field, it's easier and cheaper to replace the motor.

Every 20 minutes, my freezer would make a crackling like noise. What does this mean and how can I fix this?
Refrigerators are not the most complicated appliance in the house, but it still takes a lot of parts working together perfectly to keep your food cold. If one of those parts breaks down, or begins to, you may start to hear new noises from your refrigerator. Fridges make some noise during regular operation, but if it suddenly gets louder or makes a different noise, it is a good sign that something is wrong.

Freezer Fan
Freezers can be located on either side of the refrigerator, or may be at the top or the bottom of the unit. If you hear a noise coming from the area in which the freezer is located, you should open the freezer and see if the noise gets louder. Any squealing sounds coming from this area indicate a broken freezer fan. These units are not designed to be repaired, and eventually one making a loud noise will break and need replacement.

Condenser Fan
All motors typically require a fan in order to maintain a safe operating temperature. Like the fan in the freezer, the fan that runs on the condenser can also break down and create a similar squealing noise. The location of the fan noise is what differentiates the freezer and condenser fan problems. If you hear a fan noise coming from the lower part of the fridge at the rear, it is likely the condenser fan causing the problem.

Action to do
Open the freezer to see if the noise gets louder. If the noise becomes louder with the freezer open, the noise is likely caused by the evaporator fan. If the evaporator fan is the culprit, replace it to get rid of the noise.

Pull the refrigerator away from the wall, and check the condenser fan at the back of the fridge. A metal panel may cover the fan, which can be unscrewed. Listen to see if the fan is the source of the noise. If it is, the fan may need to be cleaned or replaced.

I have a Nice Samsung HD wide screen television that started making noise last week and this noise got proggressively louder and louder to the point that we cannot watch it now. It sounds like an internal...
Give me model number (it is on back and also should be on right side of cabinet)

I suspect it is a DLP set with a bad color wheel.

Wheel faces lamps in DLP type sets and bearings in motor fail causing either high pitched whine/fan like sound.

If wheel shatters set will shut down.

There are instructions and videos on You Tube for replacement of the kind of part---do it your self repair.

Look at photo and add comment here with model number.

If this told you something you did not know rate this solution as very helpful as I do this here for free.

One of my fans has started making noise, how much time do i have to replace it? Am I right in thinking that it making noise that it needs to be replaced?
fan noises are usually caused by worn out fans. but can be also caused by IDE/power cables hitting the fan blades. you will have to open up the computer to see where the noise comes from.

if it is a faulty fan, replace it sooner than later as it will get louder and louder. then stop making noise all together when the fan fails.

Haier ESA 3185 AC won't cool; makes escalating loud vibrating noise near front panel/ filter
Have someone check the run capacitor of this unit. If the run capacitor is bad over shorted it can cause the unit to run and short cycle on a current overdraw. This makes for an electrical imbalance in the compressor motor. Next step is the compressor is faulty.
