The fridge in my apartment is absurdly loud and I can't take it anymore. Not only does the appliance run non-stop, resulting in high electricity bills, but the evaporator fan motor is LOUD. I had my landlord come in to look at it and he fiddled around in there and he said everything's running good, its just an old fridge. He said he fixed the timer, but it still runs non-stop. He said it should only run for 6.5 hours a day, but it seems to be running 24/7. It stops for maybe 10 minutes a couple times a day, then goes right back on. This fridge is from about the 80s I would guess and needs to be replaced. I begged by landlord to get me a new fridge or at least take this one out of my apartment and Ill get a better one on craigslist, but he refuses. "This is a great fridge! They don't make them like this anymore!" he says. I'd like to see him live in a tiny apartment with this noisy monstrosity. Anyways, it seems this would be an easy fix - replace the evaporator fan motor - problem is, the fridge is so old I can't find a suitable replacement online. Is there anything at all I can do to quiet this thing down, even just a little bit????? It's driving me bonkers. Does anyone know of an online source for older refrigerator parts? Thanks.
