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.
