Possible Causes
Door gasket not sealing, Frequent door openings in humid environment, Blocked drain hole, Thermostat set too cold causing continuous running
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before defrosting or cleaning.
- Defrost the unit: Remove bottles, unplug the cooler, and leave the door open until all frost melts. Place towels to catch water.
- Clean and inspect gasket: Wipe the door gasket and cabinet mating surface. Look for cracks or warping. Replace the gasket if it does not seal evenly.
- Clear drain: Ensure the interior drain hole is clear using a soft brush or pipe cleaner, then flush with warm water.
- Adjust temperature: Set the temperature slightly warmer to reduce compressor run time and frost formation.
- Reduce humidity load: Avoid leaving the door open for long periods and minimize opening frequency, especially in humid climates.
