Refrigerator makes loud knocking, banging, or rattling noises during operation.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before adjusting components near the compressor or fans.

Noise reduction steps:

• Level the appliance: Use a spirit level and adjust the front feet so the Vestfrost refrigerator is stable and does not rock.
• Check rear components: Remove the rear panel and ensure the compressor mounting bolts and rubber grommets are intact. Gently bend any copper tubes away from cabinet walls to prevent contact.
• Inspect fans: Listen to determine if the noise comes from the evaporator or condenser fan. Replace noisy fan motors with Vestfrost-compatible parts.
• Secure internal parts: Tighten loose shelves, drawers, and internal panels that may rattle when the compressor runs.

Note: Some brief knocking sounds during compressor start/stop can be normal, but persistent loud noises indicate a fault.
