How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing the fan or evaporator.

  • Clear vents: Ensure that air vents at the rear and sides are not blocked by bottles or shelves.
  • Load distribution: Arrange bottles evenly and avoid stacking them tightly against the rear wall.
  • Remove ice: If ice surrounds the fan, defrost the unit fully and address any underlying defrost issues.
