Freezer makes loud rattling or knocking noises, especially when the compressor starts or stops.

Safety: Unplug before adjusting internal or rear components.

Steps:

• 1. Check inside: Remove baskets and ensure no items are touching the evaporator cover or fan area.
• 2. Inspect fan blades: Access the evaporator and condenser fans and check that blades are not rubbing against housings. Adjust shrouds or replace damaged fans.
• 3. Tighten panels: Ensure all internal and external panels and screws are tight.
• 4. Adjust tubing: Gently reposition any refrigerant lines that rattle against the cabinet.
• 5. Compressor mounts: Replace worn rubber grommets if the compressor is knocking against its base.
