Possible Causes

Uneven floor, Loose leveling feet, Components or tubing touching cabinet walls

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Most adjustments can be done with the unit plugged in, but unplug if you move it significantly.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • Level the freezer: Place a level on top and adjust the front leveling feet until the cabinet is stable and slightly tilted back.
  • Check floor contact: Ensure all feet are firmly on the floor. Use shims under feet if the floor is uneven.
  • Move away from walls: Provide at least a few centimeters of clearance from walls or cabinets to prevent contact during vibration.
  • Secure loose parts: Listen for rattles and press on panels or trim pieces to identify the source. Tighten screws or add foam padding where metal parts contact.

Note: Some vibration is normal when the compressor runs, but it should not cause loud rattling or movement.
