The sound is annoying.It is still freezing fine and this seems to be the only problem.Whays should I do? Thanks Nickysduck2

Turn cold control to higher number and re-check. Also check condensing coils for clog. You have the infamous "motherboard" in the back of the fridge. It sends different frequencies to the evaporator motor as a function of cooling demand. Call GE, they where replacing them free, but maybe no more!! If not, your recourse is to change it. If you have a meter and a little knowledge I can send you more info.If you do.go to www.applianceguru.com/forum1/3075.html At this site you will get info on where to test the thermistors and other things.
