Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps:

  • External check: Ensure the unit is placed on a stable, flat surface. Add vibration pads under portable units if needed.
  • Inspect indoor fan: Remove the front cover and check the cross-flow blower for debris or broken plastic. Tighten any loose set screws or clips.
  • Inspect outdoor/condenser fan: For split or rear-vented units, remove the rear/outdoor cover and check the fan blade for cracks and tightness on the motor shaft.
  • Tighten hardware: Check and tighten mounting screws on the fan motors, compressor brackets, and panels.
  • Motor bearings: If noise is a grinding or squealing sound from the fan motor, the bearings are likely worn and the motor should be replaced.
