Possible Causes

Unit not level causing cabinet vibration, Compressor or condenser fan touching cabinet, Loose internal tubing or panels, Failing fan motor bearings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting internal components. Avoid touching hot compressor surfaces.

  • Level the cabinet: Use a spirit level and adjust the front feet so the Climadiff cooler is stable and does not rock.
  • Check rear panel and tubing: Ensure the rear metal panel and refrigerant tubes are not touching each other or the cabinet in a way that causes rattling. Gently bend tubing away from contact points and add foam spacers if needed.
  • Inspect fans: Look for fan blades hitting wires or plastic. Re-route wiring and secure with clips or ties.
  • Compressor mounts: Verify that the rubber compressor mounts are intact and not hardened or broken. Replace if necessary.
  • Test after adjustments: Restore power and listen. Minor vibration can often be eliminated with careful repositioning.
