Mindy for Model Number GB9SHDXPS01 SYMPTOMS (since October): - intermittent buzzing noise from compressor; gradually gets worse - 2 or 3 times freezer/fridge stopped cooling and got warm - 2 or 3 times freezer has frosted over behind panel (frost over coils) and had to be melted down TESTING/REPAIRS: - All diagnostics from the control panel buttons passed - defrost thermostat circuit result of "shorted" (closed) which apparently is a good thing? - Tested heating element with multimeter, still good - Melted the ice and replaced the defrost thermostat with a new one RESULTS: - Compressor still buzzing, incrementally worse - Freezer not frosting up behind panel yet, but freezer and fridge still very cold (or if compressor buzzes a lot and runs hot, they stop cooling) QUESTIONS: - Is this likely cause the defrost timer on the control (jazz) board, even though all the control diagnostics seem to pass? - Would the buzzing in the compressor be caused by this problem with the control not turning on/off the defrost cycle, or is it likely the compressor is going bad? Or both? Thank you!
