It could be as simple as being low on refrigerant. Depends on how expensive the unit is if its worth recharging and how big the unit is. Some small units will need to have a recharge point fitted which cost more of course.

There is a plug that detaches when you take the front cover off which you need to do when you put it in or take it out. It may still be unplugged if you forgot to reconnect when you re-installed. You will need to unscrew the screws on side of front cover and I think there is one behind the filter that you will also have to remove. Plug the plug in and it should be fine. Let me know if this solves the problem.

I don't have a solution but I am certainly not paying to have a question answered ...so I will have to figure it out myself.
Thanks for nothing

Close the vent for maximum cooling. When you open the vent it opens a panel to the outside air and the unit cools less efficiently.

Take it into a local refrigeration repair shop. It will save you the callout fee. It likely just needs a top up of refrigerant gas, as mine did.

Question edited for clarity, full make model (what it is)/ Question moved from 'Yes Televisions'. :>) Check out the first video, but the best idea is to put it in your car and take to a refrigeration engineer for service. https://www.google.com/search?q=Danby+Idylis+model+416711+won%27t+stay+on ..

any hvac service shop called and arrived can find the noise and fix it. learn to call for real live help. nobody on the internet in text box can fix it. repairs are human hands on eyes on event. for ever. until R2D2 gets 10 upgrades in 2050? (i bet not) yes all or most machines made by man make noise. fans and motors make noise and shake and then other parts do if loose. and if too much noise? IT need to be dismantled and discovered why., it does. even bent or dislodges parts. we look with real eyes. and more lots more I will skip all tests I do. but believe it. even not reading the install manual to see omg shipping protection devices inside, must be removed ! the manual was clear.. buy a new computer printer and omg lots of those. learn that shipping things 12,000 miles from china things can break ever been on the high Sea's ,brutal. and worse trucking even 6 G forces at bay. so the maker puts in protective devices. and most times the box open day1. you see this huge yELLOW paper that says read me first and most folk do not and fail. or love to wing it, and faIL.
