How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooler before removing interior panels.
- Check shelves and bottles: Rearrange bottles so they do not touch the rear wall or each other tightly. Ensure shelves are fully seated.
- Access evaporator fan: Remove the interior rear panel to expose the fan and evaporator.
- Inspect for ice: Look for ice buildup around the fan. If present, defrost the unit completely and check the defrost system.
- Tighten components: Tighten any loose screws on the fan shroud and evaporator cover. Ensure wiring is secured away from the fan blades.
