Freezer makes a loud rattling or vibrating noise, especially when the compressor starts or stops.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before tightening panels or adjusting components near electrical parts.

• Level the freezer: Use a bubble level on top of the cabinet. Adjust the front leveling feet until the unit is stable and does not rock when pushed.
• Secure shelves and baskets: Ensure all shelves, baskets, and drawers are properly seated and not rattling against each other.
• Tighten rear cover: Check the screws on the rear lower cover. Tighten any loose screws and ensure the panel is not vibrating against the frame.
• Isolate tubing: If you hear metal-on-metal rattling, gently reposition any refrigerant lines touching the cabinet and secure them with foam or clips.
• Check interior panels: Remove and reseat the interior rear panel to ensure it is not loose and vibrating against the evaporator or fan housing.
