How to deal with a noisy Crosley upright freezer

Excessive frost on the evaporator can interfere with the rotating evaporator fan blade, causing a loud buzzing noise inside the freezer compartment. If you hear buzzing and the noise gets louder when you open the freezer door (indicating the noise is coming from inside the cabinet), check for excessive frost inside the freezer. If you find excessive frost inside the freezer, find and repair the cause to eliminate the buzzing noise.

A leaky door gasket can cause excessive frost to build up inside the cabinet and on the evaporator. Replace the door gasket if damaged. Manually defrost the freezer by safely storing food and unplugging the refrigerator. Prop the freezer door open and allow room-temperature air to circulate through the freezer cabinet to defrost the evaporator. After 24 hours, close the freezer door and plug the freezer back in to restore cooling. If the noise resumes, then you may need to replace the evaporator fan because its blade is damaged.

Common Crosley upright freezer replacement parts

• Control panel. The freezer control panel turns on or off freezer functions such as power, vacation mode and the ice maker.
• Drain hose adapter. The drain hose adapter provides a connector to attach a drain hose to the freezer.
• Thermistor. The thermistor is a temperature sensor within the freezer that sends information to the electronic control board.
• Temperature control thermostat. The temperature control thermostat is mounted in the control housing area and controls the temperature inside the freezer. It turns the compressor on and off as needed to maintain the set temperature in the freezer. The thermostat has a temperature sensor tube that detects the actual temperature in freezer compartment and controls the temperature based on the reading from that sensor.
• Overload/PTC relay. The overload/PTC relay starts the compressor motor. It has 2 components: an overload protector that trips when the compressor motor overheats or locks up, and a relay. The relay manages the start-up of the compressor and keeps the compressor running until the compressor cycles off.
