Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose compressor mounting, Fan blade hitting shroud, Ice build-up contacting fan or housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before tightening hardware or accessing fans.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Level the unit: Use a spirit level and adjust the leveling feet so the ice maker is stable and does not rock.
  • 2. Check for contact: Ensure the cabinet is not touching walls or cabinets that can amplify vibration.
  • 3. Inspect fans: Remove panels and check that the condenser and evaporator fan blades are not hitting shrouds or wiring. Adjust or replace as needed.
  • 4. Tighten mounts: Tighten loose screws on the compressor mounting brackets and internal panels.

When to call a technician: If noise comes from inside the sealed compressor or persists after these checks, professional diagnosis is needed.
