Possible Causes

Loose mounting hardware, Combustion fan imbalance, Contact between piping and framing, Resonance in vent piping

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power and gas before tightening hardware or adjusting components.

  • Check mounting: Ensure all wall mounting screws are tight and anchored into solid framing. Add additional support if the wall is thin or flexible.
  • Secure piping: Inspect water and gas pipes for contact with studs or other surfaces that can transmit vibration. Add pipe clamps and cushioning where needed.
  • Vent support: Support long runs of vent pipe with proper hangers to prevent resonance and rattling.
  • Fan inspection: If vibration seems to come from the combustion fan, have a technician inspect for imbalance, debris, or bearing wear.
