Possible Causes
Dirty condenser coils, Weak or leaking refrigerant charge (compressor models), Failing Peltier module, Blocked internal airflow, Door gasket leak
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning or removing panels.
Steps:
- Clean condenser coils: On compressor Ivation models, remove the rear panel and gently clean dust from the condenser coils with a brush or vacuum.
- Check fans: Ensure both condenser and internal circulation fans are running and unobstructed.
- Inspect door gasket: Close the door on a sheet of paper and gently pull. If it slides out easily in multiple spots, the gasket may be leaking. Replace with a Ivation door gasket.
- Reduce load and spacing: Avoid overpacking bottles; leave space between bottles and walls for airflow.
If cooling remains weak after these steps, the sealed system (compressor/refrigerant) or Peltier module may be failing and requires professional service.
