Grinding or Squeaking - Refrigerator

Possible Solutions

Grinding or Squeaking Noise when Opening Door:

  • If the refrigerator has been recently installed, ensure the doors were properly installed.  See your Installation Instructions or Owner's Manual for specific information.
  • Check to make sure the doors are not rubbing against cabinets or other surfaces when opening.
  • Check to make sure the Refrigerator is level.

Is the refrigerator level?

It is important to ensure the refrigerator is level. A properly leveled refrigerator will help with the overall proper operation of the refrigerator. Check to make sure the floor under the refrigerator is level.  If the floor is not level shims may need to be used to properly level the refrigerator. Please refer to your Owner's Manual or Installation Instructions for specific leveling information for your refrigerator.
