Possible Causes

Uneven floor or improper leveling, Loose compressor mounting brackets, Vibrating condenser or fan shroud, Shelves or bottles not secured

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before reaching behind or under it. Use caution when tilting the appliance.

  • 1. Level the appliance:
    • Use a spirit level to check side-to-side and front-to-back.
    • Adjust the front leveling feet until the unit is stable and does not rock.
  • 2. Check bottle arrangement:
    • Ensure bottles are properly seated in the racks and not touching the cabinet walls.
  • 3. Inspect rear components:
    • With the rear panel removed, check that the compressor, condenser, and fan are securely mounted.
    • Tighten any loose screws or brackets.
  • 4. Isolate vibrations:
    • Install rubber pads under the feet if the floor is resonant.
  • 5. If noise persists: A failing compressor or fan motor may be the source and should be evaluated by a technician.
