How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before tightening internal components. Use caution when tilting or moving the unit.

Step 1 – Level the refrigerator:

  • Adjust front leveling legs so the unit is stable and slightly tilted back.
  • Ensure all four corners contact the floor firmly.

Step 2 – Remove items from top and rear contact points:

  • Clear any objects from the top of the refrigerator.
  • Ensure the back of the unit is not touching the wall or cabinets.

Step 3 – Check internal components:

  • Remove the rear panel and verify that condenser coils and tubing are secured with clips.
  • Tighten any loose screws on fan shrouds or panels.

When to call a technician: If vibration persists and appears to come from inside the sealed system, professional service is recommended.
