Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration system yourself. Unplug the unit before any basic checks.

  • Basic airflow check: Ensure the condenser coil at the back or bottom is clean and that there is adequate ventilation space around the wine cooler as specified by mQuvée.
  • Condenser fan: Verify that the condenser fan (if fitted) runs when the compressor is on. Replace the fan if it does not operate.
  • Temperature test: After 20–30 minutes of operation, the condenser should be warm and the evaporator cold. If both are only mildly cool, a sealed system issue is likely.
  • Inspect for oil stains: Look for oily residue on refrigerant joints or around the compressor, which can indicate a leak.
  • Do not attempt recharge: Refrigerant recovery, leak detection, and recharging must be performed by a certified refrigeration technician with the correct refrigerant and tools.
  • Service call: Provide the technician with the model number, serial number, and E9 code description to speed diagnosis.
