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.
