Possible Causes

Unit not level on floor, Loose compressor mounting or panels, Fan blades hitting wiring or ice

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before adjusting or tightening components.

Steps:

  • Level the unit: Adjust the front leveling feet so the ice maker is stable and does not rock. Use a spirit level.
  • Tighten panels: Check all exterior panels and screws, especially around the compressor compartment. Tighten any loose fasteners.
  • Inspect fans: Ensure condenser and evaporator fan blades are not contacting wires, tubing, or ice. Reposition wiring and remove ice buildup.

Restore power and recheck noise levels. Persistent loud knocking from the compressor may indicate internal failure.
