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.
