Carey D for Model Number ED5PHEXRL00 Our Whirlpool refrigerator will make loud motor-like noises (almost like a motorcycle) at random times. Sometimes unplugging it and replugging it in solves the issue. It will go 2 weeks without acting up and then start again. If this occurs at night it is loud enough to wake up everyone in our modest size house. The sound seems to be occuring toward the back approximately where the icemaker is located. Is there a known fix for this (with instructions)? Thanks in advance!
Answer Carey, Basically, there are no componwnts located in the area of the ice maker, other than the ice maker itself 4317943. If there is an intermittent issue with the mold heater or thermostat, that could cause the control motor or linkage to "chatter" when trying to release the cubes. You may want to start there. Good Luck and Thanks Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, April 11, 2012
