Wine cooler runs but does not get cold enough; temperature is consistently 10–20°F above setpoint

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

• Step 1 – Clean condenser: Remove the rear lower panel and vacuum the condenser coil thoroughly. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn dust.
• Step 2 – Verify condenser fan: Briefly power the unit and confirm the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor runs. Replace the fan motor if it does not start or is noisy.
• Step 3 – Check door gasket: Close the door on a sheet of paper and pull it out around the perimeter. If it slides out easily anywhere, the gasket may need adjustment or replacement.
• Step 4 – Load and airflow: Ensure bottles are not blocking interior air vents. Leave space between bottles for circulation.
• Step 5 – Professional diagnosis: If all above are correct and cooling is still weak, a sealed system issue is likely and requires a certified technician.
