I have a video if I can attach it (see link...if there's a better way, let me know). My Frigidaire refrigerator model 253.56602402 keeps trying to start over and over. It will do this sometimes for over an hour. Eventually it will start so it's working and cooling properly so far but this 'noise' (in video) often continues in the background even as it runs. There are times when it stops and acts normal. It's been going on for a while but has increased the amount and length of time it continues to do this start/stop noise as heard in video. Is this repairable? What is constantly starting/stopping?

By the way the freezer and refrigerator both work so far.

The problem seems to be coming from the freezer side. When the refrigerator kicks on...a different noise happens more from middle/refrigerator side. So I assume this is either related to the ice maker or the freezer?

I have been shopping for a replacement but most are not available until March that fit my kitchen so looking to repair if possible without breaking the bank.

So I filmed it doing the noise in the video over and over (trying to start) while the refrigerator was on and running...but it was just harder to hear so I only uploaded the one video where it was not on.
