Fridge Noise?
Have a 2021 Keystone Montana 3761FL with a residential refrigerator- GE.
Noticed a humm type possibly vibration noise coming from the freezer part. You can hear it when you open the top doors but more prevalent in the freezer drawer.
The ice maker IS off.
If I didn't know better, I'd say it's like a fan vibrating.
It isn't constant but like "hummm- hummm- hummm..."
Any ideas on what to check and how to fix it?
Thanks.

Wish I had an answer for you as we too have a GE residential in ours. Wondering if maybe it is a compressor isolation mount not quite right. Hopefully one of the members with a refrigeration background will chime in.

You may have frost building on the evaporator (failure to defrost). The fan blade may be contacting that frost.

If it's a recent model residential fridge, then the new-style compressors in them that use a small fraction of the power of old-style fridges basically run most of the time but varying the speed. I am deaf and don't hear it, but my bat-eared wife does. Probably normal. Do a search on the net of 'inverter refrigerator'. NO, it's nothing to do with your solar system inverter, same word somewhat different meaning.

This is a long shot but it happened to us so I’ll share it. The day after arriving at our February park, the wife’s super human hearing detected a vibration noise coming from the fridge. When I looked into it I noticed the fridge ever so slightly skewed in the opening, and saw that the metal restraining bar that runs across the front of the fridge had broken allowing the side bracket to “spring out” and ever so slightly touch the side of the slide out wall, causing the vibration noise that only she could hear. A trip to the welding shop and all is good. Things in these trailers sure take a beating out on the roads. Maybe take a look to make sure a slight movement of the fridge isn’t causing it.
