Temperature varies significantly between shelves; top is warmer than bottom or vice versa.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the fan or vents.

Steps to improve uniformity:

• Check air vents: Ensure that interior vents at the back or sides are not blocked by bottles or shelves.
• Verify fan operation: Confirm the evaporator fan runs when cooling. Replace the fan motor if it does not operate.
• Rearrange bottles: Avoid overpacking shelves; allow space for air circulation between bottles.
• Use recommended zones: Follow BODEGA's guidance on which zone or shelf is best for red vs white wines.

When to call a professional: If uneven temperatures persist despite good airflow and fan operation, sensor or control issues may require professional diagnosis.
