Possible Causes

Unit not leveled, Loose leveling legs, Freezer touching wall or cabinets, Internal components not secured

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Have another person assist when moving or tilting the freezer to avoid injury.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • Level the freezer: Place a level on top of the cabinet. Adjust the front leveling legs until the unit is stable and slightly tilted back.
  • Check clearance: Ensure there is at least a few inches of space between the freezer and walls or cabinets so it does not rattle against them.
  • Tighten hardware: Inspect and tighten any loose screws on the rear access panel, interior shelves, and door hinges.
  • Add vibration pads: Place anti-vibration pads or rubber shims under the leveling legs to absorb vibration and prevent movement on hard floors.

Note: Persistent strong vibration could indicate an internal fan or compressor issue that may require professional diagnosis.
