Possible Causes
Worn condenser fan motor bearings, fan blade hitting debris or shroud, compressor mounting grommets hardened, refrigerant line vibration against cabinet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before accessing the rear compartment.
- Access rear: Remove the lower rear access panel.
- Identify source: Spin the condenser fan blade by hand; if it feels rough or wobbly, the condenser fan motor likely needs replacement.
- Check for contact: Ensure the fan blade is not rubbing on wiring, tubing, or the shroud. Reposition as needed.
- Inspect compressor mounts: Check rubber grommets under the compressor. If they are cracked or missing, replace the compressor mounting grommets.
- Secure tubing: If copper lines are rattling against the cabinet, add foam sleeves or clips to isolate vibration.
