Water pooling at the bottom of the wine cooler or leaking onto the floor.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working inside. Use towels to absorb water and prevent slipping.

Steps to clear drainage:

• Locate drain hole: Inside the cabinet, find the small drain hole or channel at the rear bottom area.
• Clear blockage: Use a soft pipe cleaner or plastic zip tie to gently clear any debris or mold from the drain hole. Do not use sharp metal objects.
• Flush with warm water: Using a turkey baster or syringe, flush warm water through the drain to ensure it flows freely to the rear drain pan.
• Inspect drain tube and pan: From the rear, check that the drain tube is connected and not kinked. Ensure the drain pan above the compressor is not cracked or overflowing.

When to call a professional: If water continues to leak despite a clear drain, there may be a cabinet insulation or liner issue that requires professional assessment.
