Possible Causes
Unit not level, loose internal panels, failing condenser fan motor, compressor mounting grommets worn, ice contacting fan blade
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before tightening screws or touching moving parts.
Steps:
- 1. Level the unit: Use a bubble level and adjust the leveling feet so the ice maker is stable and does not rock.
- 2. Check for cabinet vibrations: Tighten any loose screws on side panels, rear panel, and internal brackets.
- 3. Inspect fan assembly: Remove the rear panel and check the condenser fan blade for contact with wiring or shrouds. Reposition wires and secure with zip ties.
- 4. Evaluate fan motor: If the noise is coming from the fan motor and it feels rough when spun by hand, replace the condenser fan motor.
- 5. Check compressor mounts: Inspect rubber grommets under the compressor. Replace if cracked or missing to reduce vibration noise.
