How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ProfiCook ice maker before touching the rear area.
- Check installation surface: Place the unit on a solid, non-resonant surface (avoid hollow countertops that amplify noise).
- Inspect fan: Look through the rear grille to see if the fan is wobbling or contacting the grille. If so, gently adjust the grille or fan position (with power off).
- Allow cool-down: If the unit has been running continuously, unplug it for 30 minutes to reduce compressor temperature and load.
- If noise remains excessive: Worn fan bearings or compressor mounts may need replacement by a service technician.
