Possible Causes
Unit not level, Compressor or condenser tubing touching cabinet, Loose internal fan, Vibrating glass shelves or bottles
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance before bending tubing or tightening internal components.
Noise issues on De Dietrich wine coolers are often mechanical rather than electrical.
- Level the unit: Use a spirit level and adjust the front leveling feet so the cabinet is stable and does not rock.
- Rearrange bottles: Ensure bottles are not touching the rear wall or each other in a way that can resonate. Use shelves as intended.
- Check tubing clearance: At the rear, gently move copper or aluminum tubes away from the cabinet walls or each other if they are touching and vibrating. Do not kink or sharply bend the tubes.
- Tighten fan mounts: Access the internal and condenser fans and tighten any loose screws. Replace worn rubber grommets if present.
- Compressor mounts: Inspect the compressor mounting grommets; if they are hardened or broken, have them replaced by a technician.
