Possible Causes

Loose compressor mounting bolts, worn rubber grommets, refrigerant lines contacting cabinet, internal compressor wear

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing the compressor compartment.

Steps:

1. Inspect compressor mounts: Check that the compressor mounting bolts are snug but not overtightened. Replace worn rubber grommets.
2. Secure refrigerant lines: Look for copper lines touching the cabinet or each other. Gently bend them away and secure with foam or clips to prevent contact.
3. Monitor operation: Some mild knocking can be normal, but if the noise is very loud or worsening, the compressor may be failing and should be evaluated by a technician.
