Allavino VSWR Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise

Frequently Asked Questions

Which models does this page cover?

The VSWR family as listed in the matrix above: the widest matrix of this brand: many cabinet sizes, each repeated across door handing and finish codes.

How is this different from the brand-generic advice?

The compressor and its mounts moves to the top of this family's ranking and sounds that are normal for this machine goes down to fourth place, because the platform here is one control platform stretched over cabinets of very different size, so the same board runs a short duty cycle in the small ones and a long one in the large.

Is a noisy refrigerator dangerous?

On its own, no. A noise that comes with a warming cabinet or a burning smell is a different matter and should be looked at promptly.

Why is it louder at night?

The room is quieter, and the cabinet has usually just been loaded and is running a longer cycle. Both make the same noise more noticeable.

Can I fix a rattle myself?

Usually yes. Most rattles are a panel, a shelf or an item on top of the cabinet, and all three are free to fix.
