Grundig Evaporator Fan Bearing Wear

High-pitched whine or grinding 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 blade rubbing on housing, Ice buildup contacting fan blades, Loose fan mounting screws

Safety: Unplug the wine cooler before removing interior panels.

Access fan assembly: Remove shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the evaporator fan.
Inspect fan blade: Check for contact with the shroud or ice. Clear any ice and reposition the blade if it has slipped on the shaft.
Tighten mounts: Tighten any loose screws securing the fan motor and housing.
Replace noisy motor: If the noise persists and the motor feels rough when spun by hand, replace the Grundig evaporator fan motor.
