October 7, 2025
Every few weeks my refrigerator has a roar. I empty the ice maker and unplug for a hour. What part is going bad
For model number PVD28BYNBFS
PartSelect logo
Hi Linda, thank you for reaching out. A faulty defrost thermistor, part number PS12703565, is a very common cause of refrigerator roaring noises and ice buildup. The issue is that it prevents your refrigerator from running its automatic defrost cycle correctly, resulting in ice buildup on the evaporator fan. We hope this solves your problem!
