A:Answer Hi, WineGuy42.
Congrats on getting an awesome gift!
The sounds you’re hearing indicate your wine cooler is operating correctly. Keep in mind, some surfaces on floors, walls, and open floor plans may make these sounds more noticeable.
There are no thinner shelves available to purchase.
If you have any additional questions about your wine cooler, please contact us directly. Our Customer Care Department can be reached by dialing 800-374-4432, and available Monday through Friday from 8:30 am-8 pm EST.
