Rather than arguing about : "is it/isn't it making a high pitched noise" why not record the noise with your video camera, rockybird? If you have a fairly decent video camera with good audio sensitivity, said camera will pick up the noise. I recorded the sounds (or actually a lack thereof) that my Elux induction unit makes, even on boost, with the mic right next to the boiling pot. My camera has a readout display that shows the intensity of basicaly any sound/sounds that it pics up and yes it picks up high frequencies as most better cameras should, and in fact one of my cats "passed gas" during my test and the camera picked it up! I also whispered so folks could get an "idea" of the camera's mic sensitivity. As far as telling which appliance is the "Culprit" turn off the power to one, long enough so you can determine which one it is. In a unit that has "dual compressors" or in your case a compressor for the fridge and one for the freezer,(and using variable speed compressors), it is "very likely" that the compressor "rarely, if at all" shuts fully off. More than likely it will run at it's mininum speed until cooling demands require that the compressor speed up, hence the circuitry that drives the compressor is operating most of the time, and an oscillator in the circuitry is what you "may be" hearing--not saying that you should hear it thou, maybe the circuit board, is not propertly mounted, or insulation aroumd it lacking so it feeds into the frame of the unit, and thus amplifies the sound. Anyway hope you have a good video camera, and at least that will end the arguement "Is it/isn't it making a noise"! Good luck, hope you get it resolved. Gary

Mine are 2004 vintage. Love the 6 burner gas range as every burner has high btu and good simmer. Flipping a grate for wok is cool. The grates on the newer models feel flimsier. The oven is okay, it has three racks, but they are too close together, wound up taking one out. Temperature control and distribution are fine. DW is good. Very quiet, cleans well, cycle takes a long time on the air dry phase, and there is no way to turn it off. Refrigerator over under- no issues except hard to keep freezer drawer organized. MW - no issues. Hood- no issues. They all look Beautiful and have required no repairs.

Thank you for giving me those possible reasons. However, the "it is normally not a big deal to deal with this" would be great if the repair people also had this attitude. I will try to fix it myself. I just hate to move this monster as it's very heavy. By the way, we don't have an oven with a "defrost" issue as originally posted. Rather, it is the self cleaning that doesn't work, amongst other things. It's also worth noting that I sent the Monogram people a registered letter requesting new appliances or a law suit. Cars have lemon laws, so should appliances.

That's fantastic- I can save them a whole lot of time and research $$$. Return to building the Monogram built in like you did 10 years ago instead of like a kaizan bean counting eskimo. Source higher quality parts and sub-assemblies and go back to having them put together by experienced well trained people instead of trading on your former brand equity trying to squeeze out every tiny bit of profit to satisfy Wall St.
