Rattling or clinking noise when the compressor starts or stops

Safety: Unplug the wine cooler before moving or accessing the rear.

Steps:

• Secure shelves and bottles: Ensure all shelves are properly seated and bottles are not touching the cabinet walls.
• Check rear tubing: Inspect refrigerant lines at the back. If they touch each other or the cabinet, gently bend them apart slightly and add foam sleeves or clips to prevent contact.
• Tighten panels: Tighten any loose screws on the rear access panel or internal panels.
• Compressor mounts: Verify that the compressor mounting hardware is intact. If a mount is broken, have a technician replace it.
