Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose leveling legs, Contact with adjacent cabinets, Loose compressor mounting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution when moving the refrigerator; it is heavy and can tip. Do not place hands under the unit while moving.

  • Level the unit: Adjust the front leveling legs so the refrigerator is stable and does not rock when doors are opened.
  • Clearances: Ensure there is adequate clearance between the refrigerator and adjacent cabinets or walls. Move the unit slightly forward if necessary.
  • Check rear components: Verify that the drain pan, rear cover, and water lines are not loose and rattling. Secure with screws or clips as needed.
  • Compressor mounts: If the compressor appears excessively loose, its mounting grommets may be worn and should be replaced by a technician.
