I had a bad vibration coming from my 7 year old beer fridge. It turned out the fridge was vibrating in several components but it was the condenser fan that got the vibration going. Turned out it was a cheap fan that they use in desk top computers. It was easy to find on Amazon and cost about 10 bucks. Here is a pic of the old one.

In thought when beer gets too cold the cans start dancing inside the fride and say drink me I'm ready! That typically causes some vibration.
 
Surprised to see such a fan - weird!

Mine doesn't even have a fan. Both sides of the fridge get warm, so I'm assuming they built the condenser into the skin of the sides?

Seems like a bad design, but I guess they're not exposed, so they can't get dirty or damaged, and both sides warm substantially above ambient, so it's doing its job. it just seems odd to me.
