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.
