Possible Causes
Loose mounting brackets, Fan out of balance, Pump cavitation due to air or low pressure, Pipework not clipped or supported
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before touching the boiler casing or pipework.
- Check system pressure: Low pressure can cause pump cavitation and vibration. Top up if needed.
- Bleed air from system: Air in the pump or radiators can cause noise and vibration. Bleed radiators and any pump air vents.
- Inspect mounting (visual): Ensure the boiler is firmly fixed to the wall and that anti-vibration pads (if fitted) are intact.
- Secure pipework: Clip any loose pipes near the boiler to reduce resonance.
- Technician tasks: A professional can check fan balance, pump condition, and re-mount the boiler if necessary.
