Possible Causes

Unit not level, Uneven or weak flooring, Loose compressor mounting, Shipping bolts or packing materials not removed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting feet or accessing the compressor area.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust the front and rear leveling feet until the Vestfrost ice maker is stable and does not rock.
  • Check for packing materials: Ensure all shipping brackets, bolts, and foam blocks have been removed from under and around the compressor and cabinet.
  • Inspect compressor mounts: Access the compressor compartment and verify that rubber mounting grommets are intact and that mounting bolts are snug but not overtightened.
  • Stabilize floor: If the floor is weak or uneven, consider placing a solid board under the unit to distribute weight.

Tip: Persistent vibration can damage refrigerant lines over time; address it promptly.
