Possible Causes

Loose compressor mounting, Worn fan motor bearings, Ice contacting fan blades, Cabinet not level causing vibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before tightening or adjusting components.

  • Level the cabinet: Use a spirit level and adjust the Zanussi ice maker's feet so it is stable and does not rock.
  • Check panels and screws: Tighten any loose screws on side panels, rear cover, and internal brackets that may rattle.
  • Inspect fans: Access evaporator and condenser fans. Remove any ice or debris contacting the blades. Replace fans with noisy or rough bearings.
  • Compressor mounts: Ensure rubber grommets under the compressor are intact and that mounting bolts are snug but not overtightened.
