How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before tightening or bending any components.

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling legs so the unit is solid and does not rock. Use a level front-to-back and side-to-side.
  • Check for contact points: Look for copper tubing or wiring harnesses touching the cabinet and gently reposition them with insulated pliers.
  • Inspect fans: Remove access panels and listen to identify whether the noise is from the condenser or evaporator fan. Replace noisy fan motors.
  • Compressor mounts: Verify rubber grommets are intact and mounting bolts are snug but not overtightened.
