Possible Causes

Uneven or sinking condenser pad, Loose compressor mounting bolts, Fan blade imbalance, Missing rubber isolation feet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the disconnect before touching the unit.

Steps:

  • 1. Check pad level: Verify that the concrete or plastic pad under the Bryant condenser is level and stable. Minor shimming can sometimes reduce vibration.
  • 2. Inspect fan blade: With power off, spin the fan blade and check for wobble or bent blades. Replace if damaged.
  • 3. Compressor mounts: Look at the rubber grommets under the compressor. If missing or deteriorated, have them replaced by a technician.
  • 4. Add isolation pads: Rubber isolation pads under the condenser feet can reduce transmitted vibration.
