Repair Summary
Checked refrigerator for multiple concerns. The tenant reported the refrigerator was making a loud noise and provided a video for review. The recorded sound matched normal compressor and condenser fan operation for this model, which does not use a digital inverter compressor. No abnormal mechanical noises were found during testing. However, temperatures were elevated, with soft ice cream and partially hollow ice cubes. Verified the compressor and all fans were operating properly. Removed the rear cover and inspected the evaporator frost pattern, which was incomplete, although the unit may have been in a defrost cycle at the time of inspection. Advised the tenant to monitor temperatures over the next 4–6 hours. If the freezer temperature does not recover and the ice cream remains soft, the unit will likely require a sealed system repair. Inspected the sealed system and found no signs of oil or an accessible refrigerant leak. Also found a water leak caused by a loose refrigerator water supply connection from a previous installation. Tightened and secured the water line, verified the leak was eliminated, and uploaded a video documenting the findings.
