A:AnswerI just had this problem and I suggest you deal with it immediately. I waited and it was a bigger problem.
Take everything out the freezer, luckily I have a chest freezer to put things in. Shut off the breaker to your fridge or unplug it.
I found a lot of ice in the freezer section. I used gloves and sponges with hot water to remove carefully. I let it sit. The things in the fridge won't go bad quickly if you don't open the door, and you put some ice in there.
I eventually took the two screws off the back panel of the freezer compartment and opened it. There's a lot of ice back there and touching any of those elements is a bad idea. So put a towel in there and set down a small pot of boiled water to assist with the defrost.

A:AnswerHi Nola,
Thanks for reaching out! We do not rate the sound level of our refrigerators or freezers, which means we are unable to provide a decibel level while they are running. We apologize for any inconveniences. Stay safe.
A:AnswerI’ve had this fridge over a year. I can tell you the sounds are strange but not invasive - to me, anyway. It occasionally pops or crackles. The sounds that is oddest is like a loud sigh. I’ve had a lot of old refrigerators that had an audible running sound. This fridge is silent except when it makes those very intermittent odd sounds.
A:AnswerI share this problem with other 9,8 owners. I will tear into it and ensure the condensate drain hose is not plugged but not too sure about that. The unit has never had food in it that would cause this issue. I put a plastic pan on the top glass shelf a few days ago and the water seems to no longer be an issue. Now wondering if the extremely cold air from the freezer section is causing moist air to condense on the top shelf (and yes, it freezes there). If this thread remains open, I will report back after diagnosing. I am a retired refrigeration service technician BTW.
