GE FRIDGE GSS25GSHSS COMPRESSOR Noise

Condenser Fan Motor

The condenser fan motor is located in the machine compartment directly adjacent to the compressor. Over time, the motor's internal bearings wear out or become fouled with dust, leading to a loud humming, grinding, or chirping noise that mimics a compressor failure. Replacing the motor assembly is the standard resolution for persistent mechanical noise emanating from the rear-bottom of the appliance.

Compressor Start Relay and Overload

A failing start relay can cause a repetitive 'clicking' noise every few minutes as the compressor attempts to start but fails. This is a common electrical-mechanical failure in GE units where the internal ceramic disk shatters, resulting in an audible rattle when the part is shaken and a distinct clicking sound during operation.

Evaporator Fan Motor

If the noise is perceived as coming from the back but is actually radiating from inside the freezer section, the evaporator fan motor is the likely cause. In GE side-by-side models, ice buildup or bearing wear in this motor creates a high-pitched whirring or vibrating noise that can be heard throughout the cabinet.
