Possible Causes

Unit not level, loose internal components, compressor vibration transmitted to cabinet, hard contact with surrounding surfaces

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit before adjusting feet or internal parts.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • Level the unit: Use a bubble level and adjust the front and rear leveling feet until the ice maker is stable and level.
  • Isolate from cabinets: Ensure there is a small gap between the unit and adjacent cabinets or walls to prevent rattling contact.
  • Check internal mounts: Remove panels and verify that the compressor, fan, and pump are securely mounted with intact rubber grommets.
  • Add padding: Place vibration-absorbing pads under the feet if the floor is uneven or resonant.
