Wine cooler runs continuously but never reaches the set temperature; interior is cool but not cold enough.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or accessing the rear compartment.

Steps to improve insufficient cooling:

• 1. Clean condenser: Remove dust and lint from the condenser coil with a soft brush and vacuum. This is critical for Brandt undercounter wine coolers.
• 2. Check ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the cooler and that built-in installations follow Brandt's ventilation requirements.
• 3. 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 warped. Replace the door gasket if it does not seal properly.
• 4. Frost pattern check: Inspect the evaporator for an even frost pattern. A small frosted area or no frost suggests a sealed system issue requiring professional service.
• 5. Bottle loading: Avoid overloading or blocking internal air vents with bottles, which can restrict airflow and reduce cooling performance.
