Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning or removing panels.

  • Clean condenser: Remove the rear lower panel and thoroughly vacuum or brush dust from the condenser coil.
  • Check condenser fan: Confirm the condenser fan motor runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace if it does not or if it is noisy/slow.
  • Inspect door gasket: Close the door on a sheet of paper and pull it out around the perimeter. If it slides out easily anywhere, the gasket may be warped or compressed. Replace the door gasket if necessary.
  • Check ambient conditions: Ensure the cooler is not installed in a very hot or enclosed space that exceeds Pevino's specified ambient temperature range.
  • Sealed system issues: If airflow and sealing are good but cooling is still weak, a sealed system problem may exist and requires a professional technician.
