Noisy refrigerator

[cjkroodsma]

Have a 2015 Anthem 44B. Unit is now about one year old. In the past 2-4 months the frig. has at times become quite noisy. Wife complained about this earlier on and I told her that you are in closer proximity to it than in a normal home. HOWEVER, it now has begun to annoy me more than before and can be quite bothersome. I believe it happens most when the compressor is running and I understand why the sound increases then but not to this extent.Bothersome while sitting reading, watching TV or trying to fall asleep. Anyone else have this issue with their Samsung unit? Would like to hear others experiences. Have a factory appointment in Oct. Also have the "voodoo" microwave on my list.

No noise from ours in 9 months, very quiet except on the road sometimes. When the road is rough you can hear the compressor bouncing up and down but that has nothing to do with its operation. Just our experience.🚌🚓

I don't hear our refrigerator at all ... I couldn't tell you when the compressor goes on. You have a problem ... hope it is a simple solution. Getting that frig out of a MH and a new residential one in, would be quite a challenge. I'm sure it is done, but I wouldn't want to be the one to do it!

We had a noise refrigerator early on and it was a busted fan. Replaced it no problems in 2 yrs.

I heard my refrigerator for the first time last night while laying on the floor playing with the dog. It is the only time I have heard it. But the freezer is totally packed with 75 pounds fresh caught salmon and tune that we bought fresh off the boats the other day, so I figured it was really working. Today, I have not heard it.

I also had the earlier voodoo microwave replaced and the new one is working perfect. It baked homemade wild blackberry cobble to perfection. I didn't know there were any problems with the new models.

FYI

When my RV was delivered the frig would not cool and required replacement. The Samsung appliance guy said they couldn't work on the frig while inside the RV. In other words the frig must be outside the RV. That required removing the drivers's window and using 4 guys and a forklift to swap the fridges.

In other words. Unless it's a simple part swap many service companies will require the frig to be removed. Not all places are like that. Some folks have had success getting it repaired in place.

I had the same problem with my washer even though I told them repeatedly that it was on an RV the person that came out. Walked in and said he couldn't look at it unless it was out of the cabinet. Why wasn't I told this in advance? It was clear he just didn't know anything about the unit ,as the problem was it wouldn't drain I asked where the drain filter was he said in the back of the machine. I called Entegra and they said it was right up front removed 3 screws on the white bar lifted it out, unscrewed it, cleaned it out. Worked great since. When my fridge fan was replaced NIRV sent a guy to pick up the fan, and replaced which their not supposed to do. In my opinion they went above and beyond.

IS this an RV type or a "Residential compressor type"
if it's an absorption cooling unit (RV type) they should be slient. save possibly for fans if it has them (mine does but after market)

If it is a residential type.. I can not assist you. Save to mention this.. I had one get noisy once.. Turns out a heater (yes they have heaters) failed and ice was building up in the freezer compartment, Well there is a fan there to circulate air and the ice was being nicked by the blades. Eventually it broke and I had to call ye old repair guy and that's how I learned a whole lot about frost-free Residential refrigerators. (By Observation). Man knew his job and if I ever have to do it again I will likely call a pro because of the 3 trips to the hardware rule. (Pro has it all on his truck so he only needs to go to the driveway)
