I thought mine was broken as well. No sound, no vibration, no nothing. Leave it plugged in for about an hour and you should notice it getting colder inside. Plugged in to 110VAC it will eventually make ice. On 12V it will keep stuff inside much cooler than the ambient temp for quite a while. If it does start making noises you have a problem as there are no moving parts.
