Humidifier or dehumidifier vibrates excessively and moves on the surface

Safety: Unplug before inspecting underneath or inside the unit.

Steps:

• Level the unit: Place it on a flat, solid surface. Avoid soft or uneven surfaces like thick carpet.
• Check rubber feet: Ensure all rubber feet are present and intact. Replace missing or hardened feet.
• Tighten screws: Open the housing and tighten mounting screws for the fan, motor, and compressor (dehumidifier).
• Inspect fan balance: Check the fan blade or blower wheel for missing pieces or deformation. Replace if damaged.
• Test after adjustments: Reassemble and run. If vibration persists, the fan motor or compressor mounts may be worn and require replacement by a technician.
