Possible Causes
Aging power transformer, Motor energized but stalled, Loose mounting screws, Vibrating cabinet panels
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before touching internal components.
Steps:
- Identify source: Listen closely to determine if the hum comes from the AquaClean transformer, motor, or cabinet.
- Tighten mounts: Tighten screws securing the transformer and motor to reduce vibration.
- Check motor operation: Start a manual regeneration and confirm the motor actually turns. If it hums but does not move, the motor may be failing or jammed.
- Inspect cabinet: Add foam or rubber pads between vibrating panels if needed.
If the transformer is excessively hot or noisy, replace the AquaClean power transformer module.
