How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before adjusting feet or moving the unit.
Steps:
- Level the freezer: Use a spirit level on top of the cabinet. Adjust the front leveling feet until the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side.
- Stabilize on soft floors: On flexible floors, place a solid board under the feet to distribute weight.
- Check compressor mounts: Inspect rubber grommets and brackets. Replace worn grommets and tighten loose bolts.
- Rearrange contents: Distribute heavy items evenly in baskets to reduce internal vibration.
