Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose compressor mounting grommets, Refrigerant lines touching cabinet, Loose internal panels near ice maker

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before reaching behind or under the appliance.

  • Level the unit: Use a spirit level and adjust the front leveling feet until the appliance is stable and does not rock.
  • Check compressor mounts: Access the rear and inspect the rubber grommets holding the compressor. Replace if cracked or missing.
  • Isolate tubing: Ensure refrigerant lines are not touching the cabinet walls. Gently bend them away and insert foam spacers if needed.
  • Tighten panels: Tighten any loose screws on rear and internal panels near the ice maker that may rattle.

Note: A slight vibration is normal, but it should not cause loud rattling or movement of nearby objects.
