Possible Causes

Loose panels or mounting screws, Worn fan motor bearings, Debris in circulation or drain pump, Compressor vibration against cabinet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before tightening or touching moving parts.

  • Level the unit: Ensure the ice maker is level front-to-back and side-to-side using the adjustable feet. An unlevel unit can cause vibration and noise.
  • Tighten hardware: Check all accessible screws on panels, brackets, and the compressor mounting plate. Tighten any that are loose.
  • Inspect fans and pumps: Spin fan blades and pump impellers by hand to check for rubbing or debris. Clean out any foreign objects and replace noisy motors.
  • Add vibration pads: If the compressor vibrates against the cabinet, install rubber pads or grommets as specified by Teka.
  • Test with panels on: Reassemble and run the unit, listening for remaining noise sources.
