Possible Causes
Loose compressor mounting, Vibrating condenser fan, Unit not leveled causing cabinet resonance
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting components or moving it.
Noise reduction steps:
- Level the cooler: Use a spirit level to ensure the cooler is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust the front leveling legs as needed.
- Check for cabinet contact: Ensure the sides or back are not touching walls or cabinets, which can amplify vibration.
- Inspect compressor mounts: Remove the rear panel and check that the compressor mounting bolts and rubber grommets are intact and snug. Replace worn compressor mounting grommets if necessary.
- Examine condenser fan: Spin the fan by hand to check for wobble or blade contact with shrouds. Tighten mounting screws or replace the condenser fan motor if noisy.
