I have a little problem with my fridge. The Condenser on occasion suddenly starts vibrating, so hard it slightly shakes the fridge's body. The vibration subsequently subsides and fridge continues it's more familiar humming sound. This has never happened before.


A friend tells me it's LOW VOLTAGE, but the house's voltage level is OK. The cooling is OK as well. What could be wrong? I use a stabilizer with it.

Have a look at the compressor rubber mountings that can cause the vibration when the compressor start and the HP pressure is still low, or one of the spring mountings inside the hermetueqe sealed casing is broken then you will have to replace the compressor
It can also be the compressor that have a start problem, a damage starter relay can cause the problem or a warned out compressor

Added after 9 minutes:

I see that you are using a stabilizer if the stabilizer is to small there will be a start problem the compressor starting amps can be up to 10 amps
 

Re: Refrigerator Problem

Start the refrigerator when the other instruments are off , and the voltage stabilizer is out of service ; in this way you can find out if the voltage is low for it or not.
If it works normally , you could use the stabilizer in service now, and find if there is any problem with it. If so, please measure the current needed by refrigerator and the current supported by the stabilizer.
Good Luck.
 

Re: Refrigerator Problem

if not then some screws are loose
