Possible Causes
Vibrating compressor mounting, Noisy condenser fan motor, Fan blade hitting shroud, Refrigerant lines touching cabinet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before touching moving parts or metal tubing.
- Access rear compartment: Remove the lower back panel.
- Check fan: Inspect the condenser fan for debris or bent blades. Straighten gently and remove obstructions.
- Secure tubing: Look for copper lines touching each other or the cabinet. Gently reposition and secure with foam or clips to prevent vibration.
- Compressor mounts: Ensure the compressor mounting bolts or rubber grommets are intact and not excessively loose or broken.
- Replace noisy fan: If the fan motor itself is loud or rough, replace it with a Bauknecht-compatible condenser fan motor.
