Possible Causes
Vibrating compressor mounting, Condenser fan blade hitting shroud, Loose tubing contacting cabinet, Failing compressor bearings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before adjusting components near the compressor.
- Check leveling: Ensure the freezer is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust leveling feet as needed.
- Inspect fan: Remove rear panel and check if the condenser fan blade is rubbing against its shroud or wiring. Reposition or secure components to clear the blade.
- Secure tubing: Look for refrigerant lines touching the cabinet. Add foam sleeves or clips to prevent vibration noise.
- Compressor mounts: Verify that rubber grommets under the compressor are intact. Replace if hardened or missing.
- Persistent loud hum: If the compressor itself is excessively loud and hot, it may be failing and should be evaluated by a professional technician.
