Possible Causes

Unit not level, Loose internal components or panels, Vibrating compressor mounting, Noisy evaporator fan motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before tightening components or accessing the compressor area.

  • Level the cabinet: Use a spirit level and adjust the front leveling feet so the Teka wine cooler is stable and does not rock.
  • Check for contact points: Ensure the cabinet is not touching adjacent furniture or walls, which can amplify vibration.
  • Tighten panels and shelves: Secure any loose interior shelves, rear panels, or external covers.
  • Inspect compressor mounts: From the rear, check that the compressor mounting bolts and rubber grommets are intact. Replace worn grommets if the compressor is rattling.
  • Evaluate fan noise: Listen near the interior fan. If the noise changes when the door is opened or when the fan stops, the fan motor or blade may be the source. Remove obstructions and replace the fan motor if bearings are noisy.
