How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting feet or internal mounts.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • Level the appliance: Adjust the leveling feet until the Tristar ice maker is stable and does not rock.
  • Use anti-vibration pads: Place rubber pads or a non-slip mat under the feet.
  • Check compressor mounts: Access the compressor area and ensure mounting bolts and rubber grommets are intact.
  • Secure loose components: Tighten any loose brackets, water tanks, or panels that may resonate.
