How to solve the Samsung refrigerator's fan noise issue?
If your fridge is making a noise that stops once the fridge door is opened, there are a couple of things to check before organizing a service request.
It could be whining, buzzing, or grinding - all audible indications that the fan that cools the fridge is getting caught on something that shouldn't be there. The noise stops when the doors are open because the fan automatically turns off when the fridge doors are open.
Things to check:
If only one of the front wheels of the fridge is touching the ground, the refrigerator is not properly leveled. You'll want to ensure that the front of the fridge is raised to the maximum height and then leveled from left to right. If not correctly leveled, the fan could be spinning off center and creating the noise.
Make sure all the seals are clean and undamaged on your fridge doors. If there is not an airtight seal all the way around the seals, the fridge will have to work harder to keep the inside cool.
Make sure there isn't any food blocking the vents inside the fridge - keep all food at least 5 cm away from any vents in the back of the fridge to make sure they don't frost over. If there is any blockage to the vents you may need to manually defrost the fridge.
When you've checked off all of the steps above, leave the fridge for at least 24 hours.
