Exterior of the wine cooler cabinet feels hot, especially around the door frame.

Safety: Surfaces may be warm but should not be dangerously hot. Unplug before cleaning coils.

Steps:

• Check ventilation: Ensure recommended clearances around the unit are maintained and vents are not blocked.
• Clean condenser: Vacuum dust from the rear or bottom condenser coils to improve heat dissipation.
• Monitor temperature: It is normal for the door frame and sides to feel warm, but they should not be too hot to touch. If they are extremely hot, turn off the unit and call for service.
