Every time I remove the panels & defrost with hair dryer, the noise is gone for two-three days, then returns.

Set the freezer control to the coldest setting and measure the stabilized freezer temperature.

Apparently if it is contamination in the capillary line, it's too small to affect refrigeration. You might try packing fibre insulation around the termination of the capillar line in the freezer, have seen this before but black rubbery like stuf was used.

Turned freezer control to midrange, will better insulate the capillary line and replace the defrost heater/thermostat assembly. I will let you know If your assistance with the noise worked.

You can make a sound damper with cloth and silicone cement.

Defrosted the evaporator coils, removed and cleaned evap drain line to drain pan, replaced the defrost heater and thermostat assy, installed refrigerant flow noise suppression kit #4318168 over the center transition to capillary tube, set freezer and refrigerator temp controls to #4 setting. Refrigerator temp at 40 degrees, Freezer temp at 10 degrees. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!! Thanks:)
