Possible Causes
Unit not level, Loose compressor mounting bolts, Hard contact between tubing and cabinet, Missing or hardened rubber feet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting mounts.
Steps to reduce vibration:
- Level the unit: Adjust the position so all four feet contact the surface evenly.
- Add padding: Place vibration‑absorbing pads or a rubber mat under the feet.
- Tighten mounts: Remove the rear/bottom panel and tighten the compressor mounting bolts. Ensure rubber grommets are in place.
- Isolate tubing: Gently bend refrigerant lines away from cabinet walls to prevent rattling contact.
When to call a professional: If vibration is extreme or accompanied by loud compressor noise, the compressor may be failing and should be checked by a technician.
