Possible Causes

Loose mounting brackets, Pump bearings worn, Fan imbalance, Pipework not clipped properly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power before touching the appliance or pipework.

  • Check casing screws: Ensure all front and side panel screws are tight to reduce resonance.
  • Inspect mounting: Confirm the heater is securely fixed to the wall and not rocking.
  • Support pipework: Add or tighten pipe clips near the heater to prevent pipes from vibrating against walls or each other.
  • Persistent noise: If noise seems to come from the pump or fan, have a technician inspect and replace worn components.
