Koolatron Evaporator / Internal Fan Noise

High-pitched whine or squeal from inside the cabinet when running.

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

Dry or worn evaporator fan motor bearings, Fan blade rubbing on ice or wiring, Loose fan mounting bracket

Unplug the cooler before accessing the interior fan.

Steps:

Remove shelves and panel: Take out the wine racks and remove the interior rear panel to expose the internal fan.
Inspect fan: Check if the fan blade is rubbing against the shroud, wiring, or ice buildup. Clear any obstructions.
Check for play: Wiggle the fan blade; excessive wobble indicates worn bearings.
Replace fan: If noise persists, replace the evaporator/internal fan motor and blade assembly.
