Refrig was working good and then I decided to vacuum under the frig and used a vacuum cleaner and refrig coil brush to clean it and since then it makes strange noises. It seems to work OK but the noises vary most of the time and now you can hear the frig all the time. Also noted that the external heat element for condensation is on all the time. What did I do? Help

It's possible you may have bent the condenser fan blade when brushing the condenser coil... I've seen this more than once, a bent fan blade will cause the sounds you've described... You may be able to remove the blade and gently bend a wing or two to straighten it but sometimes it's best to get a new one... A blade not balanced can ruin the motor bearings... The anti-sweat heater can be switched off on some models, usually this switch is located in the refrigerator compartment... Hope this helps...

You can remove the condensing fan blade, lay it on a flat surface and bend any blade that doesn't touch the surface.
