Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose interior shelves or bottle racks, Refrigerant lines touching cabinet, Loose rear panel or compressor bracket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before bending any tubing or tightening screws.

  • Step 1 – Level the unit: Adjust the front leveling legs so the cabinet is stable and does not rock. Slightly tilt back for better door closure.
  • Step 2 – Secure shelves: Remove and reseat all shelves and racks. Ensure they are fully engaged in their supports.
  • Step 3 – Check tubing: At the rear, gently move refrigerant lines away from cabinet walls or each other if they are touching and vibrating. Use foam sleeves or clips to isolate them.
  • Step 4 – Tighten panels: Tighten any loose screws on the rear panel or compressor mounting bracket.
