I can attest to that !

On my 81 I sold a couple yrs back that thing ran all the time in the AZ
summer (9 months a yr). So I replaced the fan and put in a switch.

Technically correct. However, separately the fan in the back of the
fridge will run if the ambient temperatures are high enough
(regardless of whether the fridge is on or not.) If you have the
stock fan, it will be VERY noticable.

It takes a long time to get very cold and the fridge DOES NOT make any
noise when it is running. It does NOT hum, buzz, click, or anything.
