New Fridge making weird noises
My parents just got a brand new side-by-side stainless steel fridge just Friday by Electrolux (Fridgedaire) with the ice-maker and water thing built in.
Ever since we hooked it up, it's been making this weird thrashing noise. Sounds kinda like a machine gun on full auto. Hard to describe. Sound lasts about 5 sec. Comes back every 30 min or so.
We have not yet hooked up the water and ice-maker piping.
Could that be a problem? ("dry fire" vs. wet parts)

You can probably turn off the power to the ice maker inside the freezer portion. It's usually very close to the motor.
