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.
