Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose leveling feet, Uneven floor, Loose compressor mounts, Bottles packed too tightly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution when tilting or moving the cooler; get assistance for larger units.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • 1. Level the unit: Place a bubble level on the top of the cooler. Adjust the front leveling feet until the unit is level side-to-side and slightly tilted back so the door closes by itself.
  • 2. Check floor stability: Ensure the cooler is on a solid, non-flexing surface. Avoid placing it on thin platforms or weak shelves.
  • 3. Reorganize bottles: Space bottles so they are not tightly pressed against each other or the walls. Use rack dividers if provided.
  • 4. Inspect compressor mounts (advanced): Remove the rear panel and verify the compressor is firmly mounted on its rubber grommets. Tighten mounting hardware if loose.
  • 5. Add vibration pads: Place anti-vibration pads under the feet if vibration persists.

Tip: Slight vibration is normal, but it should not be loud or cause bottles to move.
