Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose internal mounting screws, Compressor mounting grommets worn, Ice maker touching cabinets or walls

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before tipping or adjusting feet.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • Level the unit: Use a spirit level and adjust the leveling feet so the unit is stable and does not rock.
  • Clearances: Ensure the ice maker is not touching adjacent cabinets or walls. Leave a small gap.
  • Tighten screws: Remove panels and tighten any loose mounting screws on the compressor, fan, and internal brackets.
  • Check compressor mounts: Inspect rubber grommets under the compressor. Replace if cracked or missing.
