This morning, we awoke to find a noise coming from our Samsung refrigerator. It sounds like fan noise and that it may potentially be going bad or is already bad?

Here is what I know:

1) The noise will stop when either of the doors are opened.

2) The noise appears to originating from the top section of the freezer behind the ice maker

3) The thermostats on the outside of the doors both read the expected tempratures have not started to climb.

4) The noise takes a few seconds to start back up once the doors are closed again.

Any thoughts?

Yes, it sounds like the evaporator(freezer) fan motor thats bad.

But I've never worked on Samsung to tell you how to change it. But I don't see where you can buy that part anywhere, you may need to contact Samsung here:
