How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before touching moving parts or metal tubing.
Steps:
- 1. Identify noise source: Listen at the rear with the panel removed. Determine if the noise is from the fan or compressor.
- 2. Fan noise: Clear any debris, straighten bent fan blades, and ensure the fan is not rubbing on the shroud. If bearings are noisy, replace the Leisure condenser fan motor.
- 3. Compressor vibration: Check rubber mounting grommets and brackets. Replace worn compressor mounting feet and ensure pipes are not touching the cabinet.
- 4. Secure tubing: Use foam sleeves or clips to prevent refrigerant lines from rattling against panels.
