Furrion Arctic 12 Volt French Door Refrigerator buzzing

[JHC]

Our refrigerator makes a buzzing sound every so often. Buzzes for about 3-4 seconds. Anyone experience this buzzing and/or know what it means? The refrigerator seems fine and runs cold.

So, strange question, buzzing like an alarm or buzzing like……….electrical stuff🤔
Could it be some type of door open alarm or maybe a low voltage alarm
Not familiar with that frig, just a couple of thoughts.

Or like Bryan said .. electrical sound like compressor starting up maybe?

Ours buzzes for 5ish seconds on about the same frequency as the temperature cycle shown in the graph from our Furrion’s freezer. I assume it’s the compressor starting but haven’t taken the time to check for any correlation.

The once a day deep freeze is an interesting behavior. Would like to hear the logic behind it.

Probably has do do with being frost free? But interesting none the less.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Buzzing like an old buzzer. Similar to the game of Operation where you touched the side getting the ham bone out. 😯Some of you may have played that years ago.

Maybe low voltage alarm? I can hear the compressor on occasion so not that.

I know the game well.
Do you monitor your voltage going to the rig? Not specific to your concerns, but sometimes a bad starting capicator can cause similar issues. I have no idea if your frig uses one or not.

Sometimes if your ice machine (if you have one) is turned on , the bar is down but it’s not hooked up to water it can make that noise as it searches for water to fill its self. Make sure the bar is up keeping ice machine off if it’s not hooked up.

Makes sense. My ice maker bar was down so I lifted it up. Lets see what happens.

No buzzing for a couple of days. Thank you Midnight Rider.
