much (contd.)

surrounding conditions?
See “Operating Your Beverage Cooler.”
Is the door closed completely?
Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see
“The door will not close completely” later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty?
This obstructs air transfer and makes the motor work
harder. Clean the condenser coils.
See “Cleaning.”
Temperature is too warm
Is the door opened often?
Be aware that the beverage cooler will warm when this
occurs. In order to keep the beverage cooler cool, try to
get everything you need out of the beverage cooler at
once, keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that
they are easy to find, and close the door as soon as the
items are removed.
Is the control set correctly for the
surrounding conditions?
See “Operating Your Beverage Cooler.”
Is the base grille blocked?
For best performance, do not install the beverage cooler
behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.
There is interior moisture buildup
Is the door opened often?
To avoid humidity buildup, try to get everything you need
out of the beverage cooler at once, keep wine bottles
positioned label side up so that they are easy to find, and
close the door as soon as the items are removed. When
the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters the
beverage cooler. The more often the door is opened, the
faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is
very humid.
Is it humid?
It is normal for moisture to build up inside the beverage
cooler when the air is humid.
Is the control set correctly for the
surrounding conditions?
See “Operating Your Beverage Cooler.”
