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.
