Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose compressor mounting, Vibrating shelves or bottles, Noisy condenser or evaporator fan motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Some checks can be done with the unit running, but keep fingers and tools away from moving parts.

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust the front leveling legs so the Danby wine cooler is stable and does not rock. Use a spirit level if available.
  • Rearrange bottles: Ensure bottles are not touching the rear wall or each other in a way that amplifies vibration. Use the supplied shelves correctly.
  • Tighten panels: Check that rear and interior panels are securely fastened and not buzzing.
  • Inspect fans: Remove rear or interior panels to listen closely to the condenser and evaporator fans. Replace any fan motor that is excessively noisy or has a worn bearing sound.
  • Compressor mounts: Verify the rubber grommets under the compressor are intact and that mounting bolts are snug but not overtightened.
