Wine cooler is unusually warm on the sides or top exterior surfaces.

Safety: Exterior warmth is often normal, but excessive heat should be investigated. Unplug the unit before moving or accessing rear components.

Steps:

• 1. Check installation clearance: Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation per LG specifications.
• 2. Clean condenser: If the model has a rear condenser, clean it to improve heat dissipation.
• 3. Ambient temperature: Verify the room temperature is within the recommended range for the appliance.
• 4. Monitor: If the exterior is hot to the touch and the interior is not cooling properly, there may be a sealed system or condenser fan issue requiring professional service.
