How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before adjusting components.
Level the unit:
- Use a level to check front-to-back and side-to-side alignment.
- Adjust the front leveling legs until the cabinet is stable and does not rock.
Secure loose parts:
- Remove items from the top of the freezer that may vibrate.
- Check interior shelves and baskets; reseat them firmly.
- Inspect condenser coils and refrigerant tubing at the back; use foam pads or clips to prevent metal-to-metal rattling.
Test: Plug the freezer back in and listen during compressor operation to confirm noise reduction.
