Finding the source of a noise

Our eleven-year-old Sears with the freezer on the bottom has suddenly become very noisy, with the motor running many more hours per day than before. What might be the problem?

When you speak of noises the problem is either major or minor. Sometimes you have to get right in there to find where the noise is coming from. If it's the compressor, it's a major repair. Other noises can be from fan motors, or the timer. These you, or someone you can get to help you, can replace yourself and I could help you. We have to know what it is first, though.
