Possible Causes

Loose indoor fan blower, Loose mounting bracket, Foreign object in blower, Vibrating copper pipes touching chassis

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before touching moving parts.

  • Step 1 – Check front panel: Ensure the Samsung indoor unit front cover is fully closed and latched on both sides.
  • Step 2 – Inspect blower area: Remove filters and look inside for loose plastic pieces, cable ties, or debris contacting the blower wheel.
  • Step 3 – Check mounting bracket: Gently push on the indoor unit. Excessive movement indicates loose wall bracket screws; tighten them.
  • Step 4 – Inspect piping: Where refrigerant pipes exit the indoor unit, ensure they are not touching the wall or metal edges. Add foam insulation or padding if necessary.
  • Step 5 – Test: Restore power and run the fan. If noise persists, the blower wheel or motor may be damaged and require replacement.
