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.
