How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off and unplug the unit before touching moving parts.

  • Check panels: Ensure the front cover is fully closed and latched. Tighten any visible screws on the casing.
  • Inspect filters: Make sure filters are properly seated and not vibrating against the casing.
  • Look for foreign objects: Shine a light into the air outlet and fan area to check for plastic pieces, insects, or other debris. Remove carefully.
  • Check wall bracket: For wall-mounted units, gently push the unit to see if it rocks. Tighten wall bracket screws if loose.
  • If noise persists: The fan motor or wheel may be out of balance or worn and should be replaced.
