What You Can Check

Before calling for service, try these safe checks that may resolve the issue:

  1. 1

    Level the unit

    Use a level and adjust feet until perfectly even.

  2. 2

    Check floor surface

    Consider vibration-absorbing mat if on hard floor.

  3. 3

    Inspect fan blade

    Look for damage or accumulated dust/debris.

    Ensure bottles are secure

    Loose bottles can rattle and amplify vibration.

  5. 5

    Visible rubber parts should be intact.

  • Leveling doesn't reduce vibration
  • Compressor is source of vibration

  • Vibration accompanied by cooling issues

Prevention Tips

Help prevent this issue from occurring in the future:

  • Install on solid, level surface
  • Use anti-vibration pads if needed
  • Avoid placement near bedrooms
