Possible Causes
Loose mounting screws or panels, Unbalanced blower wheel, Fan blade contacting shroud, Unit not level in window or on floor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before tightening screws or accessing internal parts.
- Check installation: Ensure window units are properly supported and level side-to-side and slightly tilted outward. Portable units should sit on a flat, solid surface.
- Tighten hardware: Inspect the outer cabinet, front grille, and internal brackets. Tighten any loose screws or clips.
- Inspect blower and fan: Remove the front cover and observe the indoor blower wheel and outdoor fan blade. Look for wobbling, cracks, or contact with the housing. Adjust or replace if damaged.
- Add padding: For minor cabinet vibration, add thin foam strips between the unit and window frame or between panels to dampen noise.
