Wine cooler produces a high-pitched squealing or chirping noise from the interior.

Safety first: Unplug the wine cooler before accessing the interior fan.

Steps to fix:

• 1. Access evaporator fan: Remove shelves and the rear interior panel to expose the fan.
• 2. Inspect for ice: Look for ice around the fan housing. If present, fully defrost the unit by unplugging and leaving the door open until all ice melts.
• 3. Check fan blade: Ensure the blade is firmly attached to the motor shaft and not rubbing against the housing. Adjust as needed.
• 4. Replace fan motor: If squealing persists and the motor feels rough when spun by hand, replace the evaporator fan motor with a Viking-compatible part.
