Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose compressor mounting bolts, Loose fan shroud, Panels vibrating against frame

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before tightening any internal components.

Noise reduction steps:

  • Level the unit: Use a spirit level and adjust the front leveling feet until the cabinet is stable and does not rock.
  • Tighten mounts: Access the compressor and fan area. Tighten any loose compressor mounting bolts and fan housing screws.
  • Add padding: Where metal panels contact the frame and vibrate, insert thin foam or rubber strips (heat-resistant where necessary).
  • Check for contact: Ensure copper refrigerant lines are not touching each other or the cabinet; gently bend them apart if safe to do so.
