How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Always unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing.
- 1. Verify setpoint and mode:
- Confirm the temperature is set correctly for wine (typically 41–64°F depending on zone).
- 2. Clean condenser:
- Remove the front or rear grille.
- Brush and vacuum dust from the condenser coil thoroughly.
- 3. Check condenser fan:
- Plug in and observe the condenser fan motor when the compressor runs.
- If the fan is slow or not spinning, replace it.
- 4. Inspect door gasket:
- Look for gaps, tears, or hardened sections of the door gasket.
- Replace the gasket if it does not seal tightly all around.
- 5. If still not cooling:
- Feel the evaporator panel inside; if only a small section is cold or there is no frost pattern, the unit may have a refrigerant leak or weak compressor. This requires a licensed technician for sealed-system diagnosis and repair.
