Wine cooler makes a loud rattling or scraping noise from inside the cabinet when running.

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the interior fan or tightening components.

Steps:

• 1. Identify noise source: Open the door while the unit is running and listen carefully. If noise changes when the door is opened, it may be fan-related.
• 2. Inspect shelves and racks: Remove and reseat shelves and bottle racks. Tighten any loose rails or brackets.
• 3. Access evaporator fan: Remove the rear interior panel to expose the fan. Check that the fan blade is firmly attached to the motor shaft.
• 4. Remove ice: If ice is contacting the blades, manually defrost the unit and investigate defrost system issues if ice returns.
• 5. Tighten screws: Tighten any loose screws on interior panels and duct covers.

Note: Persistent fan noise after these steps may indicate a worn fan motor that should be replaced.
