# Liebherr loud running noise

### The fastest diagnosis is what the appliance is telling you

Check the maker's own questions first: is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, and is the compressor making nearby furniture, bottles or containers vibrate. Adjusting the feet or moving a bottle resolves a real share of these.

### Two free answers before a paid one

The maker’s troubleshooting row for loud running noise asks two questions and both are free: is the appliance standing firmly, and is the compressor making nearby furniture or objects vibrate. Its own suggested remedies are to move the appliance slightly, adjust the feet, or move bottles and containers. That is a service call avoided as often as not.

The cabinet is not standing firmly

Published first by the maker. Adjustable feet, and a floor that is rarely as flat as it looks.

Something resonating against it

Furniture, a cabinet side, bottles or containers inside. The maker names all of these.

The evaporator fan

Bearing wear, or a blade catching ice — which usually brings a cooling complaint with it.

The compressor mount

Least common and most often assumed.

Push gently on the cabinet while it runs

If the noise changes, it is contact or level rather than machinery.

Move bottles and containers apart

The maker suggests this itself.

Note when it happens

Constant, only with the compressor, only with the door open — each points somewhere different.

The maker's own first questions cost nothing

What it usually means

Vibration that comes and goes

Rattling that stops if you touch the cabinet

A hum that got louder over months

The fastest diagnosis is what the appliance is telling you

Check the maker's own questions first: is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, and is the compressor making nearby furniture, bottles or containers vibrate. Adjusting the feet or moving a bottle resolves a real share of these.

### It only does it at night.

Usually because that is when the house is quiet, but sometimes because the kitchen is coolest then and the cycle is different. Note whether it coincides with the compressor running.

### Is a noisy fridge urgent?

Rarely urgent, occasionally an early warning. A fan grinding against ice is telling you about a defrost problem before the temperature does — one of the few cases where a noise is worth acting on quickly.
