Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose leveling legs, Refrigerator touching wall or cabinets, Loose kickplate or panels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Excessive vibration is often installation-related.

  • Level the unit: Use a bubble level on top of the refrigerator. Adjust front leveling legs so the unit is level side-to-side and slightly tilted back.
  • Check clearances: Ensure the sides and back are not tightly pressed against cabinets or walls.
  • Tighten panels: Secure any loose kickplates, rear panels, or interior shelves that may rattle.
  • Floor stability: If the floor is uneven or flexible, consider adding shims under the legs.
