How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing the compressor area.
- Check mounting bolts: Ensure the compressor mounting bolts are snug but not overtightened, and that rubber grommets are intact.
- Isolate tubing: Adjust refrigerant lines so they do not strike the cabinet when the compressor moves at startup/shutdown.
- Evaluate noise: Some low-level knocking is normal. If the noise is very loud and persists, the compressor may be failing and should be evaluated by a refrigeration technician.
