How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the disconnect before inspecting moving parts.

  • Inspect fan blade: Remove the top grille and check that the fan blade is tight on the motor shaft. Tighten the set screw if loose.
  • Check for debris: Remove sticks, leaves, or other objects from the fan and base pan.
  • Examine blade alignment: Spin the blade by hand and watch for contact with the shroud. Gently straighten bent blades or replace the fan blade if severely damaged.
  • Compressor mounts: Verify compressor mounting bolts and rubber isolators are intact and tight.
