Possible Causes
Loose compressor mounting feet, Vibrating condenser fan, Cabinet not level causing resonance
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before tightening any components. Avoid contact with hot compressor surfaces.
Steps to reduce humming/buzzing:
- 1. Level the cabinet: Use a spirit level and adjust the front leveling legs so the cooler is stable and does not rock.
- 2. Check rear panel and grille: Ensure the rear cover and front grille are securely fastened and not vibrating against the frame.
- 3. Inspect compressor mounts: Remove the rear cover and verify that the rubber grommets on the compressor mounting bolts are intact and tight. Replace worn grommets.
- 4. Examine condenser fan: Check that the fan blades are not hitting the shroud or wiring. Tighten the fan motor mounting screws and reposition any nearby wires.
- 5. Add vibration pads: Place anti-vibration pads under the cooler feet if it sits on a hard surface that amplifies noise.
