My ice maker is making really loud high pitched noise when going through its cycles

We went through three of the Emerson Ice Makers in about 1 year. After a big hassle we were able to replace machine #2 under warranty. Ice maker (the replacement) #3 started making noise after a few weeks. Wife found an Igloo brand portable ice maker. The Igloo is cheaper and much better. I haven't had any problems with it in over a year. Hope my experience helps.

as far as the noise goes, i can't help you that much since mine isn't all that noisy - just a background "hum" that isn't all that objectionable. the lib vibration could be caused by not "nesting" the trays when the unit is turned on. the only other idea i have is that one (or more) of your trays is "out of round". by that i mean you have to be careful in washing them in a dishwasher. if you are washing them in a dishwasher they can't go through the full heat of the drying cycle - they'll deform or warp. i watch the dishwasher closely and catch them at the time the drying cycle begins and take them out and let them "air dry".

Mine, after 18 months has started making that noise. I will clean the filter as another respondent mentioned. Mine is still working very well.

I don't really know. Mine makes no such noise. Could it be some solder from the welding of the tank? If there is something loose in the tank could it eventually make it's way through the air hose and cause damage? I don't know. Sounds to me like you should contact the company or return it for another unit.

Yup! I don't know why it makes that sound, but it indicates the heating element is working. My old Shark made a similar sound. Go figure.

The high pitched noise you are hearing is probably from the unit's switching power supply that is probably defective (the switcher is leaking over into the audio circuit) and will probably fail soon. My unit functions great with exceptional sensitivity.

Mine did that too from day one. The box it came in was damaged and I assume that is what caused the weird noises. It wasn't worth the time and money to ship it back so I just used it until it started giving me uneven heat. Then I junked it.

I have the larger model. I have cooked White and GABA brown on this. It is not very loud. There is a low hum while it is cooking/prepping from the internal fan, which sounds like my laptop when it isn't working very hard. If yours sounds like a grinding noise I would suspect that either something is in your fan causing it to grind, or you otherwise have a faulty fan. I don't think there are other components in there which are capable of making loud noises. Unless there is some process of induction cooking for which I am unaware that might cause this.

Mine started making a high pitched, loud, random squeak after about a year- just beyond warranty of course. I've written the company but no response yet- I've changed the filters and kept the unit really clean- very frustrating...

If you ask me I would say that there isn't much compressor noise. However the ice maker and catch tray is quite load I bought mine in January but I'm still getting used to it..... Hope this helps!

I've had my kettle for several years now, and it has a high pitched whistle. Can't tell you about the ones that are being sold right now.

Did you replace the long spring and the plastic "keeper" correctly? That is most likely the problem. If the spring is correctly in place, then perhaps the hose is hanging on something under the cabinet. The high pitched sound is likely being caused by some trash that got into the spray head. Try to "back wash" water through the spray head and flush it out. If that doesn't work you may need to dis assemble the spray head and look for debris. HTH

Long term I have not heard of an actual fix that works to make this refrigerator's ice maker reliable. That is why I have joined the class action suit mentioned in earlier posts. Short term this is what I did. I shut off the ice maker, defrosted the ice maker section with a blow dryer (to speed up the defrosting of the ice buildup in the back.) In my case I had ice build up in the back of the unit which caused it to malfunction. I used towels to sop up the water as it melted. This became tedious as it kept recurring. We have hardwood floors and can't baby sit the refrigerator every second so I bit the bullet and bought a new refrigerator (Samsung, which I LOVE). The Frigidaire is a horror show.

Mine does not have this high pitch you're talking about, just a loud hum, rather like a window air-condition unit. Since it is in my basement, it does not bother me. Maybe you have a bad unit?

I think its the pump ... it makes all kinds of noises, but it make loads of ice

Hello J. that high pitch sound is ok, however, my defuser didn't have that, so with that said, my guess is that it depends upon the fan that they put in the particular machine. If it bothers you though, by all means, Amazon is good at sending things back so they would gladly replace the unit, On my DoTERRA unit, it would start and then slow way down to almost nothing. I hope I've helped you.Sincerely: Ray R.

I am using the machine for the first time. It's making such a big noise. Stopped the machine and checked it for several times but my effort made no difference. Looking at the manual, it said that means the dough is too dry and adding some water may solve the problem. I will try that solution next time.
