Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coil, Weak compressor, Partial refrigerant leak, Non-operational condenser fan motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the Auseo wine cooler before cleaning or accessing the rear compartment.

Steps:

  • Check installation: Ensure adequate clearance around the unit and that it is not installed in a very hot room or enclosed cabinet without ventilation.
  • Clean condenser: Remove the rear lower panel and vacuum or brush dust from the condenser coil and fan blades. This is one of the most common causes of poor cooling.
  • Verify condenser fan: Plug the unit back in and confirm that the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is on. If the fan is not running, replace the condenser fan motor.
  • Monitor compressor: The compressor should run steadily and be warm to the touch, not extremely hot. Short cycling or loud noises may indicate internal failure.
  • Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket for gaps or tears. Replace the door gasket if it does not seal all around.

Important: If the condenser is clean, fans work, and the compressor runs continuously but the cabinet still does not cool, a sealed system issue (refrigerant leak or weak compressor) is likely and requires a licensed technician.
