How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting internal components.

Steps:

  • 1. Level the cooler: Use a spirit level and adjust the front leveling feet until the unit is stable and does not rock.
  • 2. Reposition bottles: Ensure bottles are not tightly packed or touching the back wall; separate them slightly.
  • 3. Tighten panels: Check interior and rear panels for loose screws. Tighten as needed.
  • 4. Inspect fans: Access internal and rear fans and ensure they are not contacting wires or plastic shrouds. Secure any loose wiring with zip ties.
  • 5. Isolate compressor vibration: On compressor models, verify that the compressor mounting grommets are intact. Replace worn rubber mounts if the compressor is rattling against the frame.
