Possible Causes

Freezer not level on floor, Loose condenser or evaporator fan motor, Compressor mounting grommets worn or missing, Refrigerant tubing touching cabinet and vibrating

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the freezer before tightening components or moving the unit.

Steps:

  • Level the unit: Use a bubble level and adjust the front leveling legs so the freezer is stable and slightly tilted back.
  • Check for loose panels: Tighten any loose screws on the rear cover, interior panels, or compressor compartment.
  • Inspect fan mounts: Verify that condenser and evaporator fans are securely mounted and not contacting shrouds or wiring. Tighten screws or replace broken fan brackets.
  • Compressor mounts: Check rubber grommets under the compressor. Replace if missing or deteriorated.
  • Isolate tubing: If copper refrigerant lines are touching the cabinet and buzzing, gently bend them away slightly and insert foam or rubber spacers.
