Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before touching the unit.

  • Check unit level: Ensure the BWT heater is installed on a flat, solid, and level base. Shim or adjust as needed.
  • Inspect fan blade: Look for bent blades or missing pieces. Replace the fan blade if damaged.
  • Verify mounting hardware: Tighten all accessible screws and bolts securing the fan motor, compressor, and panels.
  • Check vibration pads: Inspect rubber feet or pads under the unit. Replace if cracked or missing.

If vibration persists, a technician should check for internal compressor issues or misalignment.
