Possible Causes

Compressor mounting rubbers worn or displaced, Condenser tubing touching cabinet, Appliance not level, Loose rear panel or internal components

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the freezer before adjusting components at the rear.

  • Level the appliance: Use a spirit level and adjust the front feet so the freezer is stable and does not rock.
  • Check compressor mounts: Inspect the compressor mounting grommets. Replace if perished or missing, and ensure the compressor is not touching the cabinet directly.
  • Secure condenser tubing: Gently bend or pad any copper tubes that are vibrating against the cabinet or each other. Use foam pads or clips as needed.
  • Tighten panels: Tighten screws on the rear cover and any loose internal panels or baskets that may rattle.
