Ice maker vibrates excessively or "walks" on the counter

Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose internal mounting screws, Compressor mounting grommets worn, Uneven countertop surface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before moving the unit.

Steps:

  • Level the appliance: Adjust the feet (if adjustable) or place shims under corners to ensure the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side.
  • Stabilize surface: Place the ice maker on a solid, non-flexing surface. Avoid hollow countertops that amplify vibration.
  • Check internal mounts: Remove the rear panel and tighten any loose screws on the compressor bracket, fan shroud, and internal frame.
  • Inspect compressor grommets: Replace any cracked or flattened rubber mounts under the compressor.

If vibration persists despite leveling and tightening, the compressor may be out of balance and should be evaluated by a technician.
