So the fridge has start to make some noise the past few days. Doesn't sound like a fan hitting anything, but I supposed it could be a fan motor with bad bearings. I still suspect it's the compressor. It started a little as a steady noise, I think when the compressor was running, then the noise mostly went away, maybe only a bit louder when the compressor kicked on or kicked off. Early this morning it was louder than it had been before, and the noise stopped when I set the temperature control to "off". I unplugged the unit and opened up the back panel to try to see where the noise was really coming from. When I plugged it back in and turned the temperature control back to a cold setting it just ran like normal, very quietly.
So I'm assuming that it still works for now, but the compressor is maybe on its way out?
I saw a sticker on the back with the year 2001, so I take it this thing is 15 years old. Do I contact a repair person for the compressor, buy a new fridge, or vacuum out the coils and just keep in mind that my fridge might give out at any moment?
