- Level the refrigerator: Use a level and adjust front feet so the unit is stable and does not rock.
- Check rear compartment: Remove rear panel and inspect condenser fan for debris or bent blades. Clean and straighten as needed.
- Secure tubing: Gently bend or clip refrigerant lines away from cabinet walls to prevent rattling.
- Inspect evaporator fan: If noise comes from the freezer, remove the back panel and check for ice hitting the fan. Defrost and correct any defrost issues.
