Possible Causes

Freezer not level, Loose leveling feet, Cabinet touching wall or cabinets, Items inside vibrating against panels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Be careful when tilting or moving the freezer. Do not tip it more than necessary.

Steps:

  • Level the unit: Use a spirit level on top of the freezer. Adjust the front leveling feet until the unit is level side-to-side and slightly tilted back.
  • Clearances: Ensure there is a small gap between the freezer and adjacent walls or cabinets so they do not touch and transmit vibration.
  • Secure panels: Tighten any loose exterior panels or screws.
  • Rearrange contents: Check for glass containers or metal items touching the interior walls and rearrange them.
