Loud-noisy-rattle: Refrigerator compressor when it shuts off
Please,
Anyone know the solution to a GE #TFX22ZRXA, SxS refrigerator, with a VERY LOUD/NOISY/RATTLING COMPRESSOR (DA73C12RBU6) when it shuts down. Refrigerator/Freezer work PERFECTLY. FLAWLESS.
Just hear an ungodly rattle when it turns off.
Removed the back, cleaned and vacuumed what I could.
I have seen, felt, heard the compressor. It's MOST DEFINITELY
in trouble.
In GREAT shape except for this dilemma.
Is replacement the only solution ?
Thanks for anyone's time and trouble.

Most likely one of the internal springs in the compressor has broken. It will last until it fails, could be 2 wks or 2 yrs. I had one that made a racket of almost 3 and was still working when I left it.

I forgot to mention...every day it still works..put a dollar in a jar. The sound may be annoying but I'd put up with it until you have to buy a new one.
How old is the machine...might be covered by some sort of warranty?
