Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before touching rear components.
Check compressor and fan:
- Remove the rear lower panel.
- Ensure compressor mounting bolts and rubber feet are intact and secure.
- Inspect the condenser fan for dirt buildup; clean blades with a soft brush.
- Ensure no wires or tubing are touching the fan blades.
Reduce vibration:
- Ensure the fridge is level and not touching adjacent cabinets.
- Place anti-vibration pads under the front feet if necessary.
Note: Some humming is normal. Focus on new, louder, or irregular noises that indicate a developing fault.
