How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the GFCI breaker before working inside the cabinet.

  • Inspect pump mounts: Ensure all pump mounting bolts are tight and that rubber isolation pads are present and intact.
  • Check for contact points: Look for pipes or pumps touching the cabinet walls and add padding or adjust position.
  • Evaluate pump bearings: If the pump is noisy and causes vibration, its bearings may be worn and the pump should be replaced.

Address any water leaks that may be softening or warping the cabinet structure.
