Possible Causes

Furnace not level or not properly supported, Rigid duct connections without flexible connectors, Unbalanced blower wheel, Loose mounting hardware on Daikin furnace cabinet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before tightening hardware or working near moving parts.

Steps to check:

  • Level and support: Verify the furnace is level and fully supported on its platform or slab. Shim as needed.
  • Tighten fasteners: Tighten all accessible screws on the furnace cabinet, blower housing, and duct connections.
  • Flexible connectors: If rigid metal ducts are directly attached, consider having a technician install flexible connectors to reduce vibration transfer.
  • Blower balance: If vibration persists, the blower wheel may be out of balance and should be inspected by a professional.
