My 1537 rattles a bit sometimes. Am I doing something wrong? If I put my hand where it rattles it stops. Remedies?

Mine was making a racket coming from the blowers when I first fired it up this week, but after getting all the blower bolts tightened up, I managed to stop it. I would just take a socket wrench and go around tightening the bolts on the panels and fans on the outside of the stove.
Thank you. Some of them seem to be stripped out. Came from the factory like that I guess. Not like it keeps me up at night but could be quieter.
may sound like a half-assed remedy but you can put a little silicon caulk in any cracks where vibrations are making noise. It will stay rubbery and dampen vibrations. Try to find a color that will match or at least compliment/look right. Like I said it sound kinda silly but it will quiet it down and chances are that it's not structural things making noise it will just be thin sheet metal on the outside of the cabinet. If it is something structural the you gotta replace the stripped out fasteners. If they are self tapping screws just go a step bigger (IE - if they are 1/4" now gow to 5/16") If the are bolts then try to get a nut on the other end of the bolt or (last resort) drill them out bigger and retap the holes.
