Freezer making loud rattling or vibrating noise, especially when compressor starts or stops.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before adjusting internal components or accessing the rear.

Steps:

• Level the unit: Use a spirit level and adjust the front leveling feet so the Fisher & Paykel freezer is stable and does not rock.
• Secure baskets and shelves: Ensure all baskets and shelves are properly seated and not vibrating against the liner.
• Check tubing: At the rear, inspect refrigerant lines and wiring harnesses. Gently bend or pad any lines that are touching the cabinet and causing rattles (do not kink tubing).
• Compressor mounts: Verify compressor mounting bolts and grommets are secure. Replace worn compressor mounting grommets if necessary.
