Steps:
- Check level and support: Verify the unit is level side-to-side and slightly tilted to the outside. Ensure the window or wall sleeve is rigid and properly secured.
- Add padding: Install foam weatherstripping or vibration pads between the unit and window frame to dampen vibration.
- Inspect fan blade and blower: Look for bent blades or debris causing imbalance. Replace damaged fan blades or blower wheels.
