How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before tightening panels or accessing internal parts.

  • Localize noise: Listen carefully to determine if the noise comes from the fan area, control panel, or rear.
  • Tighten panels: Tighten mounting screws on side, top, and rear panels to reduce vibration.
  • Fan inspection: Check fan motors for bearing noise by spinning them by hand when power is off. Replace noisy motors.

Note: A faint hum from transformers is normal, but loud or changing pitch noises may indicate impending component failure.
