Possible Causes

Unit not level, Missing or damaged leveling feet, Loose mounting brackets, Uneven floor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution when tilting or moving the appliance; get assistance for heavy built-in units.

Stabilizing the unit:

  • Level the cabinet: Use a spirit level on top of the Siemens ice maker. Adjust the front and rear leveling feet until the unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back.
  • Check mounting: For built-in models, ensure side and top brackets are securely fastened to the cabinetry.
  • Floor condition: If the floor is uneven, use shims under the feet to stabilize.
  • Isolate vibrations: Install anti-vibration pads under the feet if necessary.
