Possible Causes

Loose compressor mounting grommets, Vibrating condenser fan, Cabinet not level causing vibration, Tubing touching cabinet panels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting components at the rear.

Steps to reduce humming/buzzing:

  • Level the cabinet: Use a spirit level and adjust the front leveling legs so the cooler is stable and does not rock.
  • Check compressor mounts: Remove the rear panel and inspect the rubber grommets under the compressor. Tighten mounting bolts if loose, but do not overtighten and crush the grommets.
  • Inspect condenser fan: Ensure the fan blade is not rubbing against the shroud or wiring. Straighten bent blades and secure loose wires with clips or zip ties.
  • Isolate vibrating tubing: Look for refrigerant lines touching the cabinet or each other. Gently bend them away slightly and insert foam or rubber spacers to prevent contact.
  • Reassemble and test: Replace the rear panel and run the unit to confirm noise reduction.
