Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, confirm the wine cooler is level and that nothing loose — coins, small items — is rattling inside or underneath it. Also, run it briefly to hear whether the noise is load-related or constant. Should that not clear it, a constant grinding or squealing noise usually means a bearing or motor is already failing, and continuing to run it can cause it to seize completely.
