Water pooling at the bottom of the cabinet or leaking onto the floor

Safety first: Unplug the wine cooler before working inside. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.

Steps:

• Locate drain: Inside the cabinet, look for a small drain hole or channel at the rear, below the evaporator area.
• Clear blockage: Use a soft pipe cleaner, cotton swab, or flexible plastic strip to gently clear any debris or mold from the drain hole.
• Flush with warm water: Using a turkey baster or syringe, flush a small amount of warm (not boiling) water through the drain to ensure it flows freely to the rear drain pan.
• Inspect rear drain pan: At the back of the unit, check the drain pan above the compressor for cracks or misalignment.

Repair: Replace a cracked drain pan or damaged drain tube. Reduce door openings and ensure the door gasket seals properly to minimize excess condensation.
