Possible Causes

Uneven surface, Loose internal mounting screws, Unbalanced compressor mounting, Damaged rubber feet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting its position or inspecting underneath.

  • Level the appliance: Place a spirit level on top and adjust the feet or reposition the unit until it is level front-to-back and side-to-side.
  • Stabilize surface: Ensure the countertop is solid and not flexing. Avoid placing the unit on hollow or resonant surfaces.
  • Check feet: Inspect the rubber feet for damage or missing pads. Replace if worn or missing.
  • Tighten mounts: Remove the rear or bottom cover and tighten any loose screws on the compressor mounting brackets and internal frame.

Persistent strong vibration may indicate an internal mechanical imbalance and should be evaluated by a technician.
