Exterior sides or top of the wine cooler feel very hot to the touch.

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

Steps to correct:

• 1. Check installation clearances: Verify that the wine cooler has the side, rear, and top clearances specified by Viking. Move the unit or modify cabinetry if necessary.
• 2. Clean condenser coil: Remove the rear lower panel and vacuum or brush the condenser coil thoroughly.
• 3. Verify condenser fan operation: With power restored, ensure the fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it is not operating.
• 4. Inspect door gasket: A leaking door can cause the unit to run excessively, heating the cabinet walls. Replace the gasket if needed.
