Maytag Condenser Heat Transfer or Poor Ventilation

Wine cooler cabinet is hot to the touch on the sides or top.

Possible Causes

Built-in condenser design radiating heat, Inadequate clearance around unit, Dirty condenser coils, High ambient temperature

Safety: Surfaces may be warm but should not be dangerously hot. If too hot to touch, unplug and inspect.

1. Verify clearances: Ensure recommended space around the cooler per Maytag installation instructions.
2. Clean condenser: Remove dust and lint from coils and fan.
3. Improve room ventilation: Increase airflow in the installation area.
4. Monitor temperatures: If cabinet remains excessively hot, have a technician check for overcharged system or restricted airflow.
