Possible Causes

Dirty condenser coil, Inadequate ventilation around cabinet, Door gasket air leaks, Failing evaporator fan motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning coils or working near moving parts.

  • Improve ventilation: Verify that the Teka wine cooler has the clearances specified in the manual. Move it away from heat sources such as ovens or direct sunlight.
  • Clean condenser: Remove the rear grille and gently brush or vacuum dust from the condenser coil and fan area.
  • Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket for gaps, tears, or deformation. Close the door on a sheet of paper; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak. Adjust hinges or replace the gasket.
  • Verify fan operation: Ensure the internal evaporator fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it is slow, noisy, or intermittent.
  • Load and usage: Avoid overloading the cabinet and minimize door openings, especially in hot ambient conditions.
