Possible Causes
Unit not level, Loose compressor mounting grommets, Fan blade out of balance, Internal tubing contacting cabinet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before tipping or adjusting it.
Steps:
- 1. Level the appliance: Use a spirit level to check front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust feet or place shims under corners until level.
- 2. Check surface: Place the unit on a solid, non-resonant surface. Avoid thin metal tables that amplify vibration.
- 3. Inspect compressor mounts: Remove the rear panel and verify the rubber grommets under the compressor are intact and bolts are snug (not overtightened).
- 4. Check fan and tubing: Ensure the fan blade is not bent and that copper tubing is not touching the cabinet walls. Gently bend tubing away from contact points.
