Possible Causes
Loose compressor mounting, vibrating copper lines, fan blade hitting shroud, unit not leveled, bottles touching cabinet walls
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting internal components or bending tubing. Avoid kinking refrigerant lines.
Steps to reduce noise:
- Level the appliance: Adjust leveling feet so the unit is stable and does not rock.
- Reposition bottles: Ensure bottles are not touching the rear wall or each other in a way that amplifies vibration.
- Check rear components: Remove the rear panel and inspect compressor mounts and copper lines. Gently bend lines away from each other or from the cabinet if they are touching and vibrating.
- Inspect fans: Check evaporator and condenser fans for debris or blades rubbing on shrouds. Realign or replace fan assemblies as needed.
