Possible Causes

Unit not level, Cabinetry too tight around built-in model, Missing or damaged leveling feet, Compressor vibration transmitted to floor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Take care when tilting or moving the cooler; get assistance for larger built-in units.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • Level the cooler: Adjust the front leveling feet until the unit is stable and does not rock. Use a spirit level front-to-back and side-to-side.
  • Check side clearance: For built-in Caple wine coolers, ensure the cabinet cut-out provides the recommended clearance and that the sides are not pinching the appliance.
  • Add damping pads: Place anti-vibration pads under the feet if the floor is uneven or resonant.
  • Secure trim kit: Ensure any decorative trim or fascia is firmly attached and not rattling against the cabinet.

Note: Persistent strong vibration even when correctly installed may indicate compressor mounting issues; inspect the compressor grommets at the rear.
