It just started doing this after more than 15 years of working flawlessly. I cleaned out the fins and there wasn't all that much dust, but that didn't help. I read something about taping the cap tube to the discharge line as shown here: Page 4 Photo by hotrod53 \| Photobucket However my cap tube is already connected to a bulb that I believe is the dryer filter and I don't know anything about refrigeration so I'm afraid to start messing around too much. I may just go ahead and try it on a day off since the noise is driving me nuts and I'll probably end up getting a new fridge anyway. Anyone have any thoughts on this? :confused:
