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.
