Possible Causes

Freezer not level, Loose compressor mounting, Vibrating condenser tubing, Noisy evaporator fan motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before tightening any components or accessing internal fans.

  • Level the appliance: Use a spirit level and adjust the Fagor freezer's front leveling feet so it is stable and does not rock.
  • Check for cabinet contact: Ensure the freezer is not touching walls or cabinets that can amplify vibration.
  • Inspect compressor mounts: Remove the rear panel and verify the compressor mounting grommets are intact and bolts are snug (not overtightened).
  • Secure tubing: Gently reposition and pad any copper tubes that are touching each other or the cabinet and rattling.
  • Fan noise: If noise comes from inside, inspect the evaporator fan for ice contact or worn bearings. Replace the Fagor evaporator fan motor if noisy.
