How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before adjusting components or removing panels.

Steps:

  • Level the unit: Ensure the Crosley refrigerator is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust leveling legs as needed.
  • Check rear components: Remove the rear access panel and inspect the condenser fan and compressor tubing. Bend tubing slightly away from cabinet walls if they are touching and vibrating.
  • Clean fan blades: Remove any dust, plastic, or paper caught in the condenser fan.
  • Inspect evaporator fan: If noise comes from the freezer, remove the rear panel and check if the fan blade is hitting ice or insulation. Clear ice and reposition insulation.
  • Tighten hardware: Tighten any loose mounting screws on fans, brackets, and panels.
