My refrigerator makes a loud shuddering noise when it shuts off, and only during the winter months. Other than that, cooling and everything else works fine. Any ideas?? -

fridge motor doesn't kick on, but rather, trips the GFCI within 45 seconds of plugging in. Other plugs on different circuits with same result. The Fridge is a frost free model, but at-the-moment, there's a 1/4 inch of frost around all freezer items. What are possible causes?

You may have a blocked drain hole. Fridges allow condensation to drain through a hole in the back (usually above the level of the salad crispers). This hole can become blocked by gunk and the water will then overflow into the interior of the fridge.

Put a thermometer in your refrigerator to monitor the temperature inside. When the temperature in the room changes with the weather so will the temperature in the refrigerator and you will be able to make precise adjustments accordingly.

Once running, open the freezer door. Check to see if the fan is blowing. If not, it could be running through a defrost cycle, the fan motor could be burnt out, or ice buildup could be stopping the fan from turning. Take cover off. Check for obstructions.

Fill a plastic glass with water. Freeze it. Turn it upside down in the freezer. If the ice in the glass is always at the top, the freezer is staying below 32 degrees. If it drops, it melted, and the freezer may have a problem.

This is based on experience with 80's-90's Whirpool refrigerators. Sometimes the drain in the back of the refrigerator will manage to get a limabean stuck in it. Sometimes "gunk" will get in it too. This keeps the water from draining well in the defrost "mode," which causes ice to build up...and sometimes water will start dripping down into the bottom of the refrigerator.

If the defrost timer motor is not working, the ice will build up, or the compressor will not work. To find out if the motor is working, place your ear against the wall of the refrigertor close to where the timer is located. Your should hear a faint "tick, tick, tick," which means that the motor is working. If it only hums, the motor is probably frozen. Get a new timer.

It is common that the timer goes bad and the fridge will stay in defrost mode making it heat up or freezing the coils (behind the backing of your freezer). If hot - Turn the timer with a butterknife until it turns the frige back on. Replace timer.
