How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before tightening or adjusting components.

  • Level the unit: Ensure the wine cooler is level front-to-back and side-to-side using the adjustable feet.
  • Check rear panel: Tighten any loose screws on the rear cover and ensure it does not vibrate.
  • Inspect compressor mounts: Verify the rubber grommets under the compressor are intact and that the compressor is not touching the cabinet directly.
  • Condenser fan: Spin the fan by hand and listen for grinding. Tighten the fan blade on the motor shaft and replace the fan motor if noisy.
  • Isolate coils: Bend or pad any condenser tubing that is touching the cabinet and causing rattling.
