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.
