How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before cleaning or internal inspection.
Steps:
- 1. Check door seal: Perform the paper test around the door gasket and replace if leaking.
- 2. Clean coils/heat sink: Remove dust from rear coils or heat sink and ensure fans are working.
- 3. Verify ambient temperature: If the room is very warm (above manufacturer spec), relocate the cooler.
- 4. Evaluate cooling system: If all else is good but the unit still runs constantly and struggles to cool, the compressor or Peltier module may be weak and require replacement.
