Possible Causes
Freezer not level, Loose compressor mounting, Hard contact between cabinet and wall, Uneven floor surface
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Take care when tilting or moving the freezer; do not lay it fully on its side.
- Level the freezer: Use a spirit level and adjust the front leveling feet until the unit is stable and slightly tilted back.
- Check clearance: Ensure the sides and back are not touching walls or cabinets.
- Inspect compressor mounts: At the rear, verify that the compressor is firmly mounted on its rubber grommets.
- Add vibration pads: Place anti-vibration pads under the feet if the floor is particularly resonant.
