Possible Causes
Unit not level, Loose leveling legs, Refrigerator contacting wall or cabinets, Loose internal components or panels
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use caution when tilting or moving the refrigerator. Avoid placing hands under the unit.
- 1. Level the unit: Use a bubble level on the top of the refrigerator. Adjust front leveling legs until the unit is level side-to-side and slightly tilted back.
- 2. Check clearances: Ensure the sides and back are not tightly pressed against walls or cabinets.
- 3. Secure panels: Tighten any loose screws on rear access panels or interior covers.
- 4. Isolate from floor: If the floor is uneven or resonant, consider placing vibration pads under the front legs.
