Pro Tips to Maintain a Bosch Refrigerator and Prevent Noise/Vibration

1. Level the Refrigerator: Ensure your Bosch refrigerator is perfectly level by adjusting the feet. Use a level tool to check that it sits flat on the floor, which minimizes vibrations and noise.

2. Avoid Overloading: Don’t overcrowd the refrigerator. Overloading can block airflow and cause the compressor to work harder, leading to increased noise and vibration.

3. Check for Loose Components: Periodically inspect the refrigerator for any loose parts, such as shelves, drawers, or the back panel. Tightening these components can help reduce rattling and vibrations.

4. Keep It Clean: Regularly clean the condenser coils located at the back or underneath the unit. Dust and debris can hinder performance and cause the appliance to work harder, resulting in noise.

Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?

If your Bosch refrigerator is relatively new and experiencing common issues, repair is often the most economical choice. Typical failures arise from parts like temperature sensors or fans, which can usually be replaced easily.

However, if your fridge is over a decade old or has repeated failures, it may make more sense to replace it. Reasons for this include

• age of the appliance
• frequent breakdowns
• discontinued parts
• plans for kitchen remodels
