Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose internal components, Compressor mounting issues, Freezer in contact with other furniture

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Take care when tilting or moving the freezer; do not lay it fully on its side.

  • Level the appliance: Use a spirit level on top of the freezer. Adjust front feet until the unit is stable and does not rock.
  • Check clearances: Ensure the sides and back are not touching walls or cabinets. Move the freezer slightly if needed.
  • Secure loose parts: Inside, make sure baskets and shelves are properly seated and not rattling.
  • Inspect compressor mounts: From the rear, verify that the compressor is secure and rubber mounts are not missing or perished.
