Gorenje Evaporator Fan Bearing Wear

Wine cooler emits a high-pitched squealing or chirping noise from inside the cabinet.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn evaporator fan motor bearings, Fan blades rubbing on ice or housing, Misaligned fan shroud, Debris caught in fan

Safety: Unplug the wine cooler before removing interior panels.

Access evaporator fan: Remove shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the fan.
Check for ice: If ice is present around the fan, fully defrost the unit and correct any defrost issues (see E4).
Inspect fan blades: Ensure blades are not bent or rubbing on the housing. Realign or replace if damaged.
Replace fan motor: If the noise persists and the motor feels rough when spun by hand, install a new Gorenje-compatible evaporator fan motor.
