Refrigerator vibrates excessively or rattles against surrounding cabinets.

Safety: Take care when tilting or moving the refrigerator; it is heavy and can tip.

Steps:

• Level the appliance: Adjust front and rear feet (if adjustable) so the unit is stable and does not rock. Use a spirit level if available.
• Check clearances: Ensure the sides and back are not pressed tightly against walls or cabinets. Leave recommended gaps for ventilation.
• Secure loose items: Remove and reseat shelves, drawers, and door bins. Loose glass shelves can rattle.
• Anti-vibration pads: Place rubber pads under the front feet to reduce transmission of vibration to the floor.
