<< My refrigerator is making a loud electric buzz, almost sounds like a grinding. The sound comes from the upper back of the unit. The noise only occurs when it is hot outside. So, thankfully, it is quiet at night. It does not matter whether the fridge is running off propane, battery or electric.

Has any one else come across this problem ... and a solution? >> Your cooling fan needs replacement. It's thermostaticly controlled so only comes on when hot.
