Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before adjusting internal components or touching moving parts.
Steps:
- 1. Level the appliance: Use a spirit level and adjust the front feet so the freezer is stable and does not rock.
- 2. Check rear components: Remove the rear cover and ensure the compressor mounting bolts are snug but not overtightened. Insert rubber pads if necessary.
- 3. Fan inspection: Check condenser and evaporator fans for debris or bent blades. Straighten or replace the fan blade or motor if damaged.
- 4. Refrigerant lines: Gently bend any copper lines that are touching and vibrating against the cabinet, taking care not to kink or crack them.
