Possible Causes

Unit not leveled, Loose or worn compressor mounts, Shelves not seated properly, Fan imbalance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working near the compressor or fans.

  • 1. Level and stabilize: Adjust leveling legs so all four corners are firmly on the floor. Use shims if the floor is uneven.
  • 2. Reposition bottles: Distribute weight evenly across shelves and avoid bottles touching the cabinet walls.
  • 3. Check shelf fit: Ensure all shelves are fully inserted and locked into their tracks. Loose shelves can rattle.
  • 4. Inspect compressor mounts: Access the rear compartment and check the rubber grommets or mounts under the compressor. Replace if cracked or missing.
  • 5. Examine fans: Look for bent fan blades or debris causing imbalance. Replace damaged fan assemblies.

Note: Minimizing vibration is important for long-term wine quality.
