Harmony - Fixed - squeaking near the fridge Empty Harmony - Fixed - squeaking near the fridge

Convinced that the fridge was sqeaking on it's base or against the wooden outer cabinet, I set about improving how the fridge was secured. 

I replaced all four wood screws (they are hidden behind four covers inside the fridge) with 30mm M5 machine screws drilled through fridge and woodwork and secured these with nuts and washers. These are now visible on the outside of the rear wood panel and the inside of the inboard cupboard, but plastic screw caps hide them nicely and finish off a rock solid job. The old screws had no grip in the wood and the fridge was able to move several mm in all directions. 

Despite my efforts with the fridge, the squeaking noise when on the move remained, especially after sharp turns to the left. 
The noise was traced to the rear doors where the rubber seals meet metal; fixed by a spray of Holt's Rubber and Nylon Lubricant. 

Hope this helps others here.

Hi, exactly same thing on my symphony, took me ages to find where the noise was coming from, it was driving me mad, i eventualy persuaded my son to crawl across to the back while i was driving to pinpoint it. ( dont tell anybody ). Sprayed silicone on rubber door seal and problem solved.
