How to make a chiller quiet?

[ol'reefer]

I have an Aqua Logic 1/3 HP chiller that is about 4 years old. It chills my 180 fine, but it lately has been getting noisier. It sounds like the fan. i am looking at replacing the fan with a much quieter ele tronic one. Any other suggestions to make it more quiet?

Most of the noise come from the compressor, but a fan can also be problematic if the bearing in it is bad. So what type of fan are you looking into? You should get a certified tech to replace the fan if you don't have the experience....

Plumb it outside

Did you tried to unplug the chiller? That certainly will quiet it down.... sorry.

Alright, fellows, try to be helpful here instead.
