Possible Causes

Loose compressor mounting, vibrating condenser or evaporator fan, unit not level on floor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before tightening components or accessing fans.

Steps:

  • Level the appliance: Use a bubble level and adjust the front leveling legs so the cooler is stable and does not rock.
  • Check for cabinet contact: Ensure the cabinet is not touching walls or cabinets that can amplify vibration.
  • Inspect compressor mounts: Remove the rear panel and verify that the compressor mounting grommets are intact and bolts are snug (do not overtighten).
  • Check fans: Inspect condenser and evaporator fans for loose blades or mounting screws. Tighten as needed.
  • Isolate rattles: Gently press on panels while the unit is running to identify and dampen rattling areas with foam tape or shims.
