Loose front panel or filter on TCL indoor unit, Foreign object in blower wheel, Worn indoor fan motor bearings, Vibrating copper pipes touching the casing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF and unplug the unit before inspection.
- Step 1 – Check panels and filters: Ensure the front cover is fully latched and filters are seated correctly.
- Step 2 – Inspect blower: Open the panel and look for foreign objects in the blower wheel. Remove carefully.
- Step 3 – Secure piping: Check that refrigerant pipes are not touching the plastic casing. Use foam or clips to separate and secure them.
- Step 4 – Motor/bearing check: If noise persists and sounds like grinding or squealing, the indoor fan motor or blower bearings may need replacement.
Warning: Do not insert fingers or tools into the blower wheel while power is connected.
