Freezer makes a loud rattling or clanking noise when running.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before inspecting internal components.

• Step 1 – Check interior: Remove or secure loose shelves, baskets, or items that may vibrate against each other.
• Step 2 – Inspect evaporator fan: Remove the rear interior panel and check for ice or foreign objects contacting the fan blades. Clear any obstructions.
• Step 3 – Tighten shrouds and brackets: Ensure the fan shroud and any internal ductwork are firmly screwed in place.
• Step 4 – Check compressor mounts: At the rear, verify that the compressor mounting bolts and rubber grommets are intact and not excessively loose.
