U-Line Beverage Center Making Loud Noise
Beverage Center Making Loud Noise is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
A slab floor transmitting compressor vibration
With no crawlspace and no joists to absorb it, vibration travels through the slab and resonates in the cabinet run rather than damping out.
A failing fan motor
Evaporator or condenser fan bearings wear out gradually, producing noise well before the fan actually stops running.
Loose or vibrating panels
Cabinet panels or compressor mounts that have loosened over time can resonate against nearby surfaces.
Local conditions that matter here
The Peninsula holds the densest concentration of Eichlers anywhere — more than 2,700 in Palo Alto, and roughly 650 in the San Mateo Highlands. Radiant heat is cast into the slab, there is no crawlspace and no attic, and the kitchen is usually a post-and-beam bay with glass to the floor. Where a unit sits against that glass, solar gain on a west elevation does work a catalogue figure never accounted for.
