Product review (1 stars): Ideal refrigerator but with a big problem...
We loved this refrigerator for its size and reliability... until after 9 months.  A loud motor noise began ruining our lives.  When you open the door, the motor turns off - the noise comes back after you close the door.  The noise was coming from behind the bottom freezer.  Not sure if it's the fan or compressor.  We tried defrosting and taking the plug out and back in to reboot... but no luck... the noise returns.  It sounded like a gas-powered lawn mower inside the house and not the usual refrigerator muffled buzz.  It's so loud you need to raise your voice and talk over it.  The refrigerator still works but it's the loud noise that is driving us crazy.

We called Danby customer service and they were responsive.  Unfortunately, all their "service depots" that were nearby us were in Canada.  None of them would cross the border even if one was located 15 miles away.  Danby contacted some refrigeration repair places and none of them would service this refrigerator either due to our location or they only repaired specific brands.

Danby customer service said they would see about some other options and will call me back.  I will update this review.
