Possible Causes

Loose screws on access panels, Warped cabinet panels, Missing vibration dampers, Fan airflow causing panel resonance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before tightening panels.

  • Tighten screws: Check all accessible panel screws and fasteners and tighten them.
  • Add padding: Where two panels vibrate against each other, add thin foam tape or rubber strips to dampen noise.
  • Check base: Ensure the unit is firmly anchored to its base and not rocking.

Persistent structural noise may require panel adjustment or replacement but is usually a minor issue.
