Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning coils or accessing fans.

User-level steps:

Ventilation: Ensure proper clearance around the BODEGA43 cooler and that built-in models have unobstructed front ventilation.
Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser coil (rear or bottom front) to remove dust. Improved airflow can significantly improve cooling.
Door seal: Check the door gasket for gaps or damage. Replace if it does not seal tightly.
Internal airflow: Avoid blocking the rear wall or air vents with bottles. Space bottles to allow circulation.

If performance is still poor:

Listen for the compressor and fans. If the compressor is very hot and runs continuously with little cooling, a sealed system issue is likely.
Ice buildup on the evaporator indicates a defrost or airflow problem.

Note: Sealed system repairs (refrigerant leak, compressor replacement) must be performed by a licensed refrigeration technician.

Wine cooler runs but does not get cold enough; temperature remains above setpoint by several degrees.
