Possible Causes

Unit not level, loose leveling legs, compressor or fan imbalance, cabinet contacting surrounding structures

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting legs or moving the appliance.

  • Level the unit: Use a bubble level on top of the ice maker. Adjust the front and rear leveling legs until the unit is stable and level.
  • Check clearances: Ensure the cabinet is not tightly wedged against walls or cabinets that can amplify vibration.
  • Tighten legs: Lock the leveling legs in place with their jam nuts if provided.
  • Inspect rotating parts: Check fans for missing blades or imbalance and replace if necessary.
