How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before tightening any internal components.
- 1. Isolate source: Listen carefully to determine whether the noise comes from the fan, transformer area, or a vibrating panel.
- 2. Tighten fixings: Remove the top cover and gently tighten screws securing the control board, transformer, and metal shields.
- 3. Check cooling fan: Ensure the cooling fan blades are clean and the motor is firmly mounted.
- 4. Damping: In some cases, adding manufacturer-approved damping pads or washers under panels can reduce resonance.
If the noise is accompanied by burning smell or erratic operation, discontinue use and seek service.
