Wine cooler makes a rattling or clanking noise when the compressor starts or stops.

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting any internal or rear components.

Steps to eliminate rattling/clanking:

• 1. Check inside first: Remove and reseat shelves and racks. Ensure bottles are not touching the interior walls or each other in a way that can rattle.
• 2. Inspect rear components: Remove the rear panel and gently shake the condenser coil and tubing. Identify any points where metal contacts the cabinet.
• 3. Secure loose parts: Tighten any loose mounting screws on the condenser or compressor bracket. Use foam pads or zip ties to secure tubing away from the cabinet.
• 4. Test operation: Plug the unit back in and listen during compressor start/stop. Adjust tubing and mounts further if needed.

Tip: Small adjustments to tubing position can significantly reduce noise; avoid kinking or sharply bending refrigerant lines.
