Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose internal components, Vibrating compressor mounting, Fan blades hitting wires or panels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before tightening or adjusting internal parts.

Steps:

  • Level the cooler: Use a spirit level and adjust the Ivation cooler’s leveling feet so it is stable and does not rock.
  • Check for cabinet contact: Ensure the cooler is not touching walls or cabinets that can amplify vibration.
  • Inspect compressor mounts: Remove the rear panel and verify the compressor mounting grommets are intact and screws are snug but not overtightened. Replace worn compressor mounting grommets if needed.
  • Check fans: Inspect internal and condenser fans for blades rubbing against wires or shrouds. Reposition wires and tighten fan mounting screws.
