Wine Cabinet - Operating noises

Wine Cabinet - Operating noises

Applies to

• Vintec

Solution

1. Depending on how full the cabinet is, the first day or two the unit is still getting the wine to temp – our units are specifically designed for gradual temperature change.

2. We have internal fans designed to circulate the air that kick in reasonably frequently

• Promotes even temps
• Reduces mould growth in the high humidity environment

Things to check

• Is the unit installed in direct sunlight or near a heat source?
• Are the door seals in good condition & is there anything stopping the door from closing fully?

Things to consider

• Is the unit in a new build that does not yet have many soft furnishings that would normally absorb noise from working appliances such as this
• Most fridges are installed in cavities that diffuse much of the compressor noise before it reaches the user – it sounds like this may not be the case here
• Is the cabinet getting opened frequently, hence working harder?

Tips re operating noises

• Underbench units have most working mechanisms at the bottom and back – install a square of soft material such as carpet under the unit and ideally behind the unit – this will reduce operating noise being reflected by hard surfaces such as tile or hardwood.
