LG Air Conditioner - The outdoor unit installed on the hand rail generates louder noises. Outdoor unit is shaking

Troubleshooting

Causes and Symptoms

  • The joint of the angle or handrail supporting the outdoor unit is widened.
  • Outdoor unit is not leveled.

If you use cooling or dehumidification of the air conditioner, then the cooling motor(compressor) inside the outdoor unit begins to operate, thus causing the vibration of the outdoor unit.
Now, if the outdoor unit is installed on top of the handrail or angle, then the vibration can transfer to make the shaking noises louder.
