How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator.
- Tighten mounts: Access the compressor compartment and gently tighten the compressor mounting bolts, being careful not to overtighten.
- Isolate lines: Identify any copper lines that rattle against the frame or each other and gently reposition them. Use foam sleeves or clips if provided by Electrolux.
- Check condenser brackets: Tighten any loose condenser coil brackets or screws.
- Monitor: If noise persists and appears to come from inside the compressor, it may be an internal mechanical issue requiring compressor replacement by a technician.
