Possible Causes
Condenser fan blades hitting debris, Fan motor bearings worn, Compressor mounting grommets hardened or missing, Refrigerant lines vibrating against cabinet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the cooler before touching any moving parts.
- Access rear compartment: Remove the rear lower panel to expose the compressor and condenser fan.
- Inspect fan: Remove any debris from the fan blades. Ensure the blades are not rubbing against shrouds or wires. Bend or reposition obstructions.
- Check fan bearings: Spin the fan by hand; if it feels rough or noisy, replace the "Condenser fan motor".
- Inspect compressor mounts: Ensure rubber grommets are intact and the compressor is not touching the frame directly. Replace worn grommets.
- Secure tubing: If copper lines vibrate against the cabinet, gently bend them away and secure with foam or clips.
