Freezer makes a rattling or clanking noise when the compressor starts or stops.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before tightening screws or adjusting components.

Steps to eliminate rattling:

• 1. Remove external items: Take off any objects placed on top of the freezer that may vibrate.
• 2. Check rear panel and grilles: Tighten all screws on the rear service panel and any ventilation grilles.
• 3. Inspect compressor mounts: Verify that the compressor mounting bolts are snug but not overtightened. Replace damaged rubber mounts.
• 4. Secure tubing: Gently move refrigerant lines away from each other and from the cabinet, adding foam or clips where needed.

Note: Some clicking at start/stop is normal, but persistent loud rattling should be addressed.
