Possible Causes

Normal expansion/contraction of plastic parts, Louvers moving against stops, Slightly loose casing clips

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting louvers or casing.

Steps:

  • Identify source: Listen closely to determine if the noise comes from louvers, casing, or internal components.
  • Check louvers: Ensure louvers move freely and are not hitting obstructions. Adjust their angle.
  • Secure casing: Gently press on different parts of the casing while the unit runs to locate loose areas. Tighten screws or add thin foam tape where panels meet.
  • Note: Mild clicking during temperature changes is often normal and not a fault.
