Wine cooler is cooling but makes a loud humming or buzzing noise from the rear.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching the fan or compressor area.

Steps to reduce noise:

• Inspect rear area: Remove the rear panel and identify the noise source while briefly powering the unit (only if safe and necessary).
• Check fan blade: Ensure the condenser fan blade is not rubbing against the shroud, wiring, or debris. Adjust or secure wires away from the blade.
• Tighten mounts: Tighten screws securing the condenser fan bracket, compressor mounting bolts, and rear panel.
• Replace noisy fan: If the fan motor hums loudly or has play in the shaft, replace it with a compatible BODEGA condenser fan motor.
• Add vibration pads: Place anti-vibration pads under the unit's feet to reduce transmitted noise.

When to call a professional: If the compressor itself is excessively loud or knocking, a technician should evaluate it.
