Possible Causes
Dirty condenser coils, Failing condenser fan motor, Door gasket air leaks, Overloaded shelves blocking airflow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning coils or working near the compressor.
Steps:
- Condenser cleaning: Remove the rear lower panel and vacuum dust from the condenser coils and fan area. Use a soft brush to loosen stubborn debris.
- Check condenser fan: Confirm that the fan near the compressor spins freely by hand and runs when the compressor is on. Replace the condenser fan motor if it is noisy, slow, or not running.
- Inspect door gasket: Look for gaps or tears. Close the door on a strip of paper at several points; if it pulls out easily, the gasket may need replacement or the door hinges may need adjustment.
- Improve airflow inside: Avoid packing bottles tightly against the back wall or over the air vents. Leave space between bottles for air circulation.
- Ambient conditions: Ensure the cooler is not installed in a very hot or enclosed space. Move it or improve ventilation if necessary.
