Possible Causes

Unit not level on countertop, Loose compressor mounting, Vibrating condenser fan, Loose internal panels or screws

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before tightening any screws or touching moving parts.

Steps:

  • Level the appliance: Place a spirit level on top and adjust the feet or position so the unit is stable and does not rock.
  • Check for external vibration: Ensure the ice maker is not touching walls or other appliances that can amplify noise.
  • Tighten accessible screws: Inspect the rear cover and side panels for loose screws and gently tighten them.
  • Inspect fan (if accessible): Look through the rear grille to see if the fan blades are hitting any wires or plastic. Carefully reposition any obstructions.

Persistent loud mechanical noise may indicate a failing fan motor or compressor, which should be assessed by a technician.
