Unit not leveled, Refrigerator touching adjacent cabinets or wall, Loose internal tubing or panels, Compressor vibration transmitted to floor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution when moving or tilting the refrigerator. Do not lay it fully on its side.

  • Level the refrigerator: Adjust the front leveling feet until the unit is stable and does not rock when doors are opened or closed.
  • Clearances: Ensure there is adequate space between the refrigerator and surrounding cabinets or walls. Move it slightly forward if necessary.
  • Check contact points: Look for water lines, electrical cords, or panels touching the wall or cabinets and reposition them.
  • Install vibration pads: Place anti-vibration pads under the front feet if the floor is uneven or amplifies noise.
  • Internal tubing: If accessible, gently reposition any refrigerant or water lines that rattle against the cabinet.
