Wine cooler runs constantly but does not get cold enough; compressor and fans are running almost all the time.

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

Steps to improve insufficient cooling:

• 1. Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Close the door on a sheet of paper; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak. Replace the gasket if needed.
• 2. Clean condenser coils: Remove the rear lower panel and vacuum dust and lint from the condenser coils and surrounding area. Use a soft brush to dislodge stubborn debris.
• 3. Verify condenser fan operation: With the unit powered, ensure the fan near the compressor runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the condenser fan motor if it is not running or is noisy and slow.
• 4. Check installation: Ensure adequate clearance around the cooler and that it is not installed in a very hot, enclosed space.
• 5. Evaluate sealed system (advanced): If airflow and seals are good but cooling is still weak, the compressor or refrigerant charge may be at fault. This requires a professional refrigeration technician to diagnose and repair.

Note: Running constantly without reaching set temperature is a classic sign of a sealed system issue once airflow and door sealing are ruled out.
