Possible Causes

Loose cabinet panels, Worn circulation pump bearings, Failing condenser fan motor, Compressor mounting issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit before tightening or touching moving parts.

  • Level the unit: Ensure all four leveling legs are firmly on the floor and the cabinet is not rocking.
  • Tighten panels: Check screws on side, rear, and front panels. Tighten any loose fasteners that may cause rattling.
  • Isolate noise source: Briefly run the unit with panels removed (if safe) to identify whether the noise comes from the pump, fan, or compressor.
  • Replace noisy components: If the circulation pump or fan motor is grinding or squealing, replace the affected Electrolux part to prevent failure.
