Possible Causes

Unit not leveled, missing leveling feet, compressor vibration transmitted to floor, loose internal brackets

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before tipping or lifting.

  • Level the unit: Adjust all leveling feet until the ice maker is stable and does not rock. Use a level front-to-back and side-to-side.
  • Add anti-vibration pads: Place rubber pads under the feet to dampen vibration and prevent movement.
  • Tighten internal brackets: Remove rear panel and tighten compressor mounting brackets and any loose frame screws.
  • Ensure clearance: Leave a small gap between the ice maker and adjacent cabinets to prevent contact noise.
