High-pitched squealing or chirping noise from inside the freezer

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Dry or worn fan motor bearings, Fan blade rubbing on housing due to ice buildup, Misaligned fan shroud

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing the fan.

Steps:

Access fan: Remove interior rear panel to reach the evaporator fan.
Check for ice: Remove any ice around the fan housing and blades using warm air, not sharp tools.
Inspect fan motor: Spin the blade by hand. If it feels rough or noisy, replace the fan motor assembly.
Reassemble carefully: Ensure the fan shroud and panel are correctly positioned to avoid rubbing.
