Wine cooler runs but does not get cold enough; temperature stays above setpoint.

Safety: Unplug the cooler before cleaning or accessing the rear compartment. Sealed system work (refrigerant) must be done by a licensed technician.

• Verify settings and environment: Ensure the set temperature is correct and the cooler is not installed in a very hot room or in direct sunlight.
• Clean condenser coils: Remove the rear lower panel and vacuum dust from the condenser coils and surrounding area. Dirty coils greatly reduce cooling efficiency.
• Check condenser fan (compressor models): Confirm the fan runs whenever the compressor is on. If not, test and replace the condenser fan motor.
• Inspect internal airflow: Avoid overpacking bottles; leave space between them and do not block interior vents. Ensure the evaporator fan is running.
• Feel the compressor and condenser: The compressor should be warm and the condenser coils should feel warm when running. If the compressor runs constantly but coils stay cool, there may be a refrigerant issue.
• Call a professional for sealed system issues: If cleaning and fan checks do not restore cooling, or if you suspect a refrigerant leak or weak compressor, contact a qualified refrigeration technician. Do not attempt to open the sealed system yourself.
