Possible Causes
Loose compressor mounting, Vibrating condenser fan shroud, Fan blades hitting debris, Unit not leveled causing vibration
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching the compressor or fan area.
- Level the unit: Adjust the front and rear leveling feet so the cooler is stable and does not rock.
- Access rear compartment: Remove the rear lower panel to inspect the compressor and condenser fan.
- Check fan: Look for debris in the fan blades or shroud. Clean thoroughly and ensure the blades spin freely without contacting anything.
- Compressor mounts: Ensure the rubber grommets and mounting bolts for the compressor are intact and snug, but not overtightened.
- Secure tubing: Gently bend any vibrating refrigerant lines away from cabinet walls or each other, adding foam sleeves if necessary.
