After the wine cooler runs for a while, a chirping noise begins. What is the problem and resolution?

Howard, We're sorry to hear about your Wine Cooler making a high pitched noise. Our Wine Coolers are handled by a different department. Please call 800-263-2629 for assistance.

It's chirping cause it has a bad bearing in the fan motor

HI sally.well wine coolers r not rocket science.your local engineer should be able to at least diagnose the problem...lets c if u can do it ok?(still getting power )u mean light comes on or u mean it runs but dont get cold?well haier is not the best but if it's done 7 years is not bad:).ok...1-check if it makes any noise or is completely quiet.if no sound feel the motor (compressor).hot or cold.if cold it could be the thermostat or motor.if hot running or not it could be refrigerant or motor.needs visual.hope this helps.ALI

There is not compressor it a cooler not a fridge... The noise is most likely fans 2 of them one inside and one under the rear cover. remove the bad one take to R Shack ... computer fans are about the same size.

not to many moving parts on that wine cooler more then likley it is the compressor making the noise. check your warranty to see if the compressor is covered

check the fan near the motor or inside it this kind of wine cooler always have fan problem

i got the same model,the noise from the lower back,u can remove the fan out & determine the noise from easy,the bottom have two bolts,easy to remove it.gd luck for u

I have a different model Vinotemp, but experienced the same exact problem described here where the LEDs on the controller board blinks and there is a clicking or chirping noise. It turns out there was a bad electrolytic capacitor on the controller board that was visibly noticeable (it was bulging). Replacing the capacitor fixed the problem. On my model, it was a 1000 microfarad 16v cap, available at RadioShack or any store that sells electronic components for less than $1. Of course, you will need some soldering skills for this fix.

when the fan comes on so does the compressor,hold the fan with a rag and see which one is making the noise-mike

Few things to check here. If the compressor is not running then the problem may be a bad thermostat or the compressor start device (ptc starter). Most common would be the thermostat on wine coolers. Also need to check if the fan is running. If everything is running then you have a sealed system problem. If the fan is the only thing that is not running that will cause a no cool situation.
