Wine cooler runs but does not get cold enough; temperature is higher than set point despite long run times.

Safety: Unplug the appliance before cleaning coils or accessing the rear compartment.

Steps to improve cooling:

• Clean condenser: Remove dust and lint from the condenser coils with a soft brush and vacuum. Blocked coils greatly reduce cooling efficiency.
• Check condenser fan: When the compressor runs, confirm the condenser fan also runs. Replace the fan motor if it is not operating or is noisy.
• Inspect door gasket: Look for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Replace the gasket if it does not seal evenly.
• Monitor for sealed system issues: If the compressor and fan run continuously, coils are clean, and the door seals well but cooling is still poor, a refrigerant leak or restriction is likely. This must be diagnosed and repaired by a licensed refrigeration technician.

Tip: Avoid overloading the cabinet; allow space between bottles for air circulation.
