Excessive noise

Ensure the fridge is level and stable on the floor. Check if any items inside are vibrating against the back wall or each other. Normal operating sounds may include humming or gurgling.

Verify that the drain hole at the back of the fridge interior is not blocked. If it is, carefully clear it with a soft probe or brush. Ensure the fridge is not overfilled, obstructing airflow.

Door not closing properly

Frost build-up
