Wine cooler is cooling but temperature is too warm and never reaches the setpoint

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning coils or removing panels.

• Check installation conditions: Ensure the wine cooler is not placed in direct sunlight, near ovens, or in a confined cabinet without ventilation. Ambient temperature should be within Amana's specified range.
• Clean condenser coil: Remove the rear lower panel and vacuum dust and lint from the condenser coil and fan area. This is one of the most common causes of poor cooling.
• Verify condenser fan operation: With the unit running, confirm that the condenser fan spins at full speed. Replace the fan motor if it is slow, noisy, or not running.
• Inspect door gasket: Close the door on a sheet of paper and gently pull. If the paper slides out easily at multiple points, the gasket may be worn or the door misaligned. Adjust hinges or replace the gasket.
• Check for evaporator icing: Remove the interior rear panel and look for heavy ice buildup. If present, manually defrost and then investigate defrost system components (sensor, heater, control).
• Monitor with a thermometer: After cleaning and adjustments, allow 12–24 hours and verify temperature with an independent thermometer placed in the center of the cabinet.
