Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose internal components or panels, Vibrating compressor mounting, Noisy fan motor or fan blade hitting shroud

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before tightening components or accessing fans.

  • Level the unit: Use a bubble level and adjust the front leveling legs so the Summit wine cooler is stable and does not rock.
  • Check for cabinet contact: Ensure the unit is not touching walls or cabinets that can amplify vibration.
  • Inspect compressor mounts: Remove rear panel and check rubber grommets on compressor feet. Replace worn compressor mounting grommets if the compressor rattles.
  • Check fans: Inspect evaporator and condenser fans for loose blades or contact with shrouds. Tighten screws and reposition shrouds as needed. Replace noisy fan motors if bearings are worn.
  • Secure loose parts: Tighten any loose interior shelves, racks, or panels that may buzz.
