How to Fix / Troubleshooting

  • 2. Fan balance: Inspect the fan wheel for missing blades or accumulated dirt on one side. Clean and replace if damaged.
  • 3. Compressor mounts: Check that all compressor mounting bolts are tight and that rubber grommets are intact.
  • 4. Internal clearance: Look for wiring harnesses or panels that may be touching the fan or compressor and vibrating. Re-route or secure as needed.
