Possible Causes

Improper window installation, Missing or damaged mounting brackets, Uneven floor for portable units, Fan blade imbalance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • 1. Check level: Use a level to ensure the unit is installed per Danby instructions (slight tilt to the outside for window units; level for portables).
  • 2. Secure mounting: Verify that all window mounting brackets, side curtains, and screws are installed and tight. Add foam strips where the unit contacts the window frame to dampen vibration.
  • 3. Floor stability: For portables, place the unit on a solid, flat surface. Avoid soft carpets or uneven floors.
  • 4. Fan inspection: Inspect indoor and outdoor fans for bent blades or debris causing imbalance. Replace damaged fan blades or blower wheels.
