Possible Causes
Blocked ventilation around cabinet, Excessive ambient temperature, Condenser fan failure, Door frame heater circuit stuck on (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit if surfaces are extremely hot or if you smell burning.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the sides, back, and top of the wine cooler per Blomberg installation guidelines.
- Clean condenser: Remove dust from condenser coils to improve heat dissipation.
- Check condenser fan: Verify the fan runs whenever the compressor runs. Replace if not operating.
- Door frame heater: Some models use a low-wattage heater around the door frame to prevent condensation. If the frame is excessively hot, the control board may be overdriving the heater; have a technician inspect the main PCB.
