Possible Causes
Unit not leveled, Loose internal components or shelves, Compressor vibration transmitted to cabinet, Worn compressor mounting grommets
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting components in the compressor compartment.
Steps to reduce vibration:
- Level the cabinet: Adjust the front and rear leveling feet so the unit is stable and does not rock.
- Secure shelves and bottles: Ensure all shelves are properly seated in their tracks and bottles are evenly distributed.
- Check compressor mounts: Inspect and replace worn rubber grommets under the compressor to isolate vibration.
- Add damping pads: Place anti-vibration pads under the feet of the wine cooler if it sits on a hard surface.
Tip: Avoid stacking bottles in a way that allows them to touch and rattle against each other.
