•  Check the door seal and clean or 

replace.

necessary.

Appliance 
turns itself on

frequently.

 

•  The room temperature is higher than 

average.

to the unit. 

 
•  The door is open too often.

Vibrations

 

•  The appliance is not properly leveled. 

•  Level the appliance with the 

adjustable feet. 

The appliance 
seems to 
make too 
much noise. 

The rattling noise may come from the flow of the refrigerant, which is normal. As each 
cycle ends, you may hear gurgling sounds caused by the flow of refrigerant in your 
appliance. 
If temperature fluctuations occur, the contraction and expansion of the inner walls 
may cause popping and crackling noises. 

•  The appliance is not properly level.

adjustable feet.

not close 
properly.

properly installed.

adjustable feet.
