How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before working near the blower. Rotating parts can cause injury.

Steps to check:

  • Tighten panels: Ensure the blower door and other access panels are securely fastened. Loose panels can rattle loudly.
  • Inspect blower wheel: Remove the blower assembly if accessible and check for debris inside the wheel. Clean carefully.
  • Check set screw: Verify the blower wheel set screw is tight on the motor shaft and the wheel is centered in the housing.
  • Motor mounts: Inspect rubber isolation mounts or brackets for wear or breakage.

If vibration persists, a technician may need to balance the blower wheel or replace the Daikin blower assembly.
