Possible Causes

Copper refrigerant lines contacting cabinet, Loose interior shelves or racks, Loose condenser fan shroud, Loose compressor mounting bolts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before adjusting any internal or rear components.

Steps:

  • 1. Check interior: Remove and reseat shelves and racks. Ensure they are fully engaged in their supports.
  • 2. Inspect rear tubing: With the rear panel removed, look for copper lines touching each other or the cabinet. Insert foam or rubber spacers where needed to prevent contact.
  • 3. Tighten hardware: Check screws securing the condenser fan shroud and compressor mounting bracket. Tighten gently; do not overtighten compressor bolts.

Result: Proper isolation of vibrating parts usually eliminates rattling noises without replacing major components.
