Possible Causes

Aging power transformer, Valve motor not fully de-energized, Loose mounting of control board, Vibration against cabinet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before touching internal components.

  • Identify source: With the cover removed (and power briefly restored), carefully listen to locate the hum (transformer, motor, or vibrating panel). Then disconnect power again.
  • Tighten mounts: Secure any loose transformers, motors, or control boards with appropriate screws or clips.
  • Isolate vibration: Add rubber washers or pads between vibrating components and the cabinet if recommended by Viessmann.
  • Replace noisy component: If the transformer or motor is excessively loud, replace the Viessmann power transformer or motor assembly as appropriate.
