Freezer makes a loud rattling or vibrating noise, especially when the compressor starts or stops.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before adjusting internal components.

Steps:

• Level the freezer: Adjust the front leveling legs so the unit is stable and slightly tilted back. Ensure all four corners are firmly on the floor.
• Check rear panel and grille: Tighten any loose screws on the rear access panel and front kick plate.
• Secure tubing: Gently press on refrigerant lines and condenser coils to identify rattling points. Use foam pads or clips to secure vibrating lines away from metal surfaces.
• Rearrange contents: Ensure baskets and food packages are not pressing against the evaporator cover or fan area.
