Freezer makes loud rattling or vibrating noise, especially when the compressor starts or stops.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before tightening screws or adjusting panels.

Steps to cure rattling/vibration:

• 1. Isolate the source: Gently press on different areas (side panels, rear cover, door) while the noise occurs to identify what changes the sound.
• 2. Tighten panels: Secure any loose screws on the rear cover, internal liners, or fan shrouds.
• 3. Check baskets and shelves: Remove and refit baskets or drawers. Add felt pads or rubber strips where metal parts contact each other.
• 4. Secure tubing: Use foam sleeves or clips to prevent the refrigerant pipes and capillary tube from touching the cabinet or each other.

Tip: Placing the freezer on a solid, level surface and using anti‑vibration pads under the feet can further reduce noise.
