How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching fans or pumps.
- Locate noise source: Listen carefully from the front and back to determine if the sound comes from the fan area, pump area, or door.
- Inspect fan: Remove the rear panel and check that the condenser fan blades are not rubbing against the housing. Adjust if needed.
- Check pump: If the noise coincides with water circulation, the circulation pump may have worn bearings and should be replaced.
- Inspect door seal: A whistling sound can indicate air leakage; adjust or replace the gasket.
