Cabinet interior feels unusually warm to the touch on side walls or top.

Safety: Surfaces may be warm but should not be dangerously hot. If extremely hot, unplug and investigate.

Steps:

• Check installation: Ensure proper clearances around the unit and that vents are not blocked.
• Clean condenser: Remove dust from condenser coils to reduce heat buildup.
• Monitor temperature: Use a thermometer to verify internal temperature remains within set range. Mild exterior warmth can be normal.
• Service if extreme: If cabinet surfaces are excessively hot or internal temperature rises, contact a technician to check for compressor or sealed system issues.
