Possible Causes

Unit not level front-to-back or side-to-side, Leveling legs not contacting floor, Refrigerator touching wall or cabinets, Loose toe grille or panels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution when moving or tilting the refrigerator.

  • Level the unit: Use a bubble level on the top of the refrigerator. Adjust the front leveling legs so the unit is slightly higher in front and stable.
  • Check clearances: Ensure the sides and back are not tightly pressed against walls or cabinets. Maintain recommended clearances from the Electrolux installation guide.
  • Secure panels: Make sure the toe grille and rear access panel are firmly attached and not rattling.
  • Use vibration pads: If needed, place anti-vibration pads under the leveling legs.
