Unit not level, Loose leveling feet, Compressor vibration transmitted to cabinet, Loose internal panels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting feet or panels.

  • Level the unit: Use a spirit level on top of the ice maker. Adjust the front and rear leveling feet until the unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back.
  • Stabilize feet: Ensure all feet are firmly contacting the floor. Add anti-vibration pads if the floor is uneven.
  • Tighten panels: Check and tighten all exterior and interior panel screws to reduce rattling.
  • Isolate from cabinetry: Ensure the sides are not pressed tightly against cabinets. Leave a small gap to prevent contact noise.
