How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before adjusting panels or tubing.
Check external causes:
- Remove items from the top of the refrigerator that may vibrate.
- Ensure the refrigerator is not touching the wall or cabinets.
- Tighten panels: Check the rear access panel and any loose screws. Tighten as needed.
- Secure tubing: Gently bend or pad refrigerant lines that are touching each other or the cabinet to prevent rattling. Use foam sleeves or clips.
- Level the unit: Adjust leveling legs so the refrigerator is stable and slightly tilted back.
Note: After adjustments, restore power and listen for improvement.
