How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before tipping or moving it.
Steps to correct vibration:
- Level the unit: Adjust any leveling feet so the cabinet is stable and does not rock.
- Check surface: Place the unit on a solid, non-flexing surface. Avoid hollow countertops that amplify vibration.
- Inspect mounts: Remove panels and verify that compressor and fan mounts are tight and that rubber grommets are intact.
- Replace worn mounts: If grommets are cracked or missing, replace them to isolate vibration.
