Possible Causes
Refrigerant lines touching cabinet, Loose shelf rails or racks, Fan blade contacting debris
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooler before moving or bending any tubing.
Steps to eliminate rattling:
- 1. Check interior components: Remove and reseat shelves and racks. Ensure they are fully engaged in their tracks and not loose.
- 2. Inspect rear tubing: Look at the copper refrigerant lines behind the unit. If they touch each other or the cabinet, gently bend them apart slightly and insert foam or rubber spacers.
- 3. Examine fans: Check both interior and condenser fans for loose blades or debris. Clean and tighten as needed.
- 4. Test noise source: With the rear cover off and the unit running, carefully listen to identify the exact source of the rattle and secure that component.
