Possible Causes

Clogged drain tube, Cracked drain pan, Excess humidity entering through bad door gasket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and mop up any water to prevent slipping.

Steps:

  • Locate drain system: Many compressor-based Kenmore wine coolers have a small drain hole under the evaporator and a tube leading to a rear drain pan above the compressor.
  • Clear drain hole: Use a soft pipe cleaner or small brush to gently clear debris from the interior drain hole.
  • Check drain tube and pan: Access the rear and inspect the drain tube for kinks or clogs. Ensure the drain pan is properly positioned and not cracked.
  • Door gasket check: Inspect the door gasket for gaps that allow humid air in, causing excess condensation. Replace if damaged.
