Possible Causes
Uneven floor, improperly adjusted leveling legs, missing rear rollers or feet, refrigerator not pulled fully back against wall stops
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Use caution when tilting or moving the refrigerator. It is heavy and can tip if not handled properly.
Steps to reduce vibration:
- Check floor: Verify that the floor under the refrigerator is solid and level. Avoid placing the unit on soft or flexible surfaces.
- Adjust leveling legs: Use a wrench to extend or retract the front leveling legs until the cabinet is level side-to-side and slightly tilted back so doors close on their own.
- Stabilize rear: Ensure rear rollers or feet are properly contacting the floor. Adjust if your model allows.
- Reposition unit: Slide the refrigerator so it lightly contacts the wall or cabinet stops to reduce movement when doors are opened.
