How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the ice maker before tightening screws or touching moving parts.
Steps:
- 1. Level the unit: Use a spirit level and adjust the feet or position so the ice maker sits flat and stable.
- 2. Check for contact points: Ensure the cabinet is not touching walls or other appliances that can amplify vibration.
- 3. Tighten fasteners: Remove the rear and side panels and tighten any loose screws on the frame, compressor brackets, and fan housing.
- 4. Inspect fan: Check the condenser fan for wobble or blade damage. Replace the fan motor if it is noisy or has play in the shaft.
