Possible cause
Today's refrigerators have increased
storage capacity and maintain more
even temperatures.
Refrigerator operates at higher
pressures during the start of the ON
cycle.
Floor is uneven or weak. Refrigerator
rocks on the floor when it is moved
slightly.
Refrigerator control is set too cold.
Items placed on the top of the
refrigerator are vibrating.
Dishes are vibrating on the shelves in
the refrigerator.
Refrigerator is touching wall or
cabinets.
The weather is hot and humid which
increases the rate of frost buildup and
internal sweating.
Door is slightly open.
Door is opened too often or too long.
Weather is humid.
Door is slightly open,causing cold air
from the inside the refrigerator to
meet warm air from the outside.
Solution
It is normal for sound levels to be higher.
This is normal. The sound will level off as the
refrigerator continues to run.
Be sure floor is level and solid and can
adequately support refrigerator.
See above solution.
Remove items.
It is normal for dishes to vibrate slightly. Move
dishes slightly. Make sure refrigerator is level
and firmly set on floor. It is normal for the
refrigerator to have a slight lean backwards.
Move refrigerator so that it does not touch the
wall or refrigerator.
This is normal.
See problem section opening/closing of doors.
Open the door less often.
This is normal in humid weather.
When humidity is lower, the moisture should
disappear.
This time, close the door completely.
