How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting internal components. Use caution when moving the cooler.
Steps:
- Level the unit: Use a spirit level on the top of the cooler. Adjust the front leveling feet until the cabinet is stable and does not rock.
- Check internal shelves: Ensure shelves are fully seated and not rattling against the side walls or bottles.
- Inspect fans: Remove interior and rear panels to check that evaporator and condenser fans are securely mounted and not hitting shrouds or wires. Tighten screws and reposition wires as needed.
- Secure tubing: Gently move copper refrigerant lines away from cabinet walls or each other if they are touching and vibrating. Use foam sleeves or clips to isolate them.
- Compressor mounts: Inspect rubber grommets under the compressor. If cracked or missing, replace them to reduce vibration transfer.
