It sounds like a fan hitting something and appears to come from the black globe that I am guessing is the compressor. The compressor is quite hot, but I don't know if this is normal. fridge seems to run more than normal, but this may just be because it is louder. I'm sure this is a common problem. Anyone have ideas? Thank you Gary
