Wine cooler runs but does not get cold enough; interior stays above set temperature with no error code.

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

Steps:

• Clean condenser: Remove the rear lower panel and gently clean the condenser coil with a soft brush and vacuum. Dust buildup severely reduces cooling.
• Check condenser fan: Verify the condenser fan motor runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace if not spinning or noisy.
• Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket for gaps or tears. Close the door on a sheet of paper; if it pulls out easily, adjust hinges or replace the gasket.
• Ambient temperature: Ensure the room is within the specified operating range (typically 50–90°F / 10–32°C). Very hot rooms reduce performance.
• Sealed system issues: If the compressor runs continuously, condenser is clean, and fan works but cooling is still poor, a refrigerant leak or weak compressor is likely. This requires a certified refrigeration technician.
