Wine cooler not level, Compressor or condenser tubing touching cabinet, Loose internal panels or shelves, Failing compressor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting internal components near the compressor.

  • Level the appliance: Use a spirit level and adjust the front feet until the cooler is stable and does not rock.
  • Check for contact points: At the rear, ensure copper tubes and the condenser are not touching the cabinet or each other in a way that can vibrate. Gently bend them away if needed, without kinking.
  • Secure panels and shelves: Tighten any loose screws on interior panels and ensure shelves are properly seated.
  • Compressor evaluation: If the noise is a deep, irregular knocking or grinding from the compressor itself, the compressor may be failing and should be assessed by a professional.
