Fix it guide
Why is my wine cooler not holding temperature?
Compact condensers depend on clear airflow, so a blocked grille or dirty coils are the first suspects. If the coils are clean and the compartment still drifts warm, the fan, the thermistor or the control board is the likely fault.
Check these first
Four things to try before you book
None of these require tools or take more than a few minutes. If one of them fixes it, you have saved a service call.
- Vacuum the front grille and the condenser behind it.
- Leave a gap for airflow if the unit is built in without a front vent.
- Check the door seal with a sheet of paper. It should hold along the whole edge.
- Move the unit away from an oven or dishwasher if it sits beside one uninsulated.
Still not working
When to call
If the fault persists or returns within a day, a component has failed and needs to be tested and replaced. Send the model and serial number from the data plate, the exact symptom and any code on the display.
