Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose internal mounting screws, Uneven floor or countertop, Compressor contact with cabinet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting feet or accessing internal mounts.

  • Level the unit: Use a bubble level and adjust the leveling feet so the ice maker is stable and does not rock.
  • Check surface: Place the unit on a solid, non‑flexing surface. Avoid hollow countertops that amplify vibration.
  • Inspect internal mounts: Remove panels and verify that compressor and fan mounting screws are tight and that rubber isolators are in place.
  • Add padding: If needed, place vibration‑damping pads under the feet to reduce transmitted noise.
