I have a new Maytag refrigerator (not Energy Star) that is making a high pitched whine or ringing sound when it’s running. I researched this a bit and have read that it usually is caused by the new high speed, energy efficient compressors and is considered normal. That may be but it gives me headaches! I had Maytag out to inspect it and they offered to replace the compressor and drier but said it appears the refrigerator is operating normally and this surgery may not make the shrill noise go away? Is there anything I can do? Maybe carpet under the unit? Thanks.
Forgot to add that I did have Home Depot replace the original refrigerator with an new, identical one. The new (and current) one makes the same noise. That’s why I belive it when Maytag says it’s normal. I’m concerned that having them replace the compressor & drier will be a big waste of time as they will probably put in the exact same part with the same characteristics.
