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.
