Every once in a while, I hear noises from the top freezer part. I
assumed that it was ice cubes dropping into the collection tray. I put
an empty tray under the cube maker but nothing appears in it after the
rattling sound.

There is a handle that when raised is supposed to stop the ice maker
function. Even when up, I still hear the sound.

Suggestions?

Here's a picture of the bottom rear of the refrigerator:

The problem is in the shock-mounted unit on the right. Its fan has axial
play, about 1/16", that causes the "rattling." With power off, if I rap
my knuckles against the unit, I will hear the rattling every time.

Maybe if I intentionally "unleveled" the refrigerator so the left or
right side is slightly higher, the noise will go away. Even without
taking any further measures, just knowing the source of the rattling is
comforting.

Thank, everyone, for your comments.
