Possible Causes
Loose compressor mounting feet, Vibrating condenser tubing touching cabinet, Worn evaporator fan motor bearings, Ice hitting fan blades
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before adjusting components or accessing internal panels.
Steps to reduce noise:
- 1. Level the appliance: Use a spirit level and adjust the front feet so the freezer is stable and does not rock.
- 2. Check rear components: Remove the rear lower panel and inspect compressor mounts and condenser tubing. Tighten loose mounting bolts and gently bend any tubing away from the cabinet to prevent contact.
- 3. Inspect evaporator fan: Remove the inner rear panel and check the fan for ice buildup or debris. Clear any obstructions and ensure the fan blade is firmly attached to the motor shaft.
- 4. Replace noisy fan motor: If the fan squeals or grinds even when clean, replace the evaporator fan motor with a compatible Proline part.
