Wine cooler runs constantly but does not reach the set temperature; it is cool but not cold enough.

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning coils or working near the compressor.

• Clean condenser: Pull the cooler away from the wall. Remove the rear lower panel if present and vacuum dust from the condenser coil. Use a soft brush to avoid bending fins.
• Check condenser fan: Ensure the fan near the compressor spins freely and runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the condenser fan motor if it is slow, noisy, or not running.
• Inspect door gasket: Close the door on a sheet of paper and pull it out. If it slides easily all around, the gasket may be worn or misaligned. Adjust the door or replace the gasket.
• Ventilation clearance: Ensure there is adequate space around the cooler for air circulation as specified in the Balay installation manual.
• Professional diagnosis: If performance remains poor after these steps, a partial refrigerant loss or weak compressor is likely and requires a certified technician.
