Possible Causes

Unit not level, Missing or hardened rubber feet, Internal component (compressor or fan) out of balance, Loose mounting brackets

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before tipping or lifting it.

  • Level the appliance: Adjust the feet or place shims under corners so the unit sits firmly and does not rock.
  • Check feet condition: Inspect rubber feet for wear or loss. Replace or add anti-vibration pads under the feet.
  • Tighten internal mounts: Remove panels and check that the compressor and fan assemblies are securely bolted to their brackets.
  • Relocate unit: Place the ice maker on a solid, non-resonant surface rather than a thin metal or hollow countertop.

Excessive vibration over time can damage internal components, so address it promptly.
