Possible Causes

Loose compressor mounting, Vibrating copper tubing touching cabinet, Worn fan motor bearings, Loose internal panels or shelves

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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.
