Wine cooler shows E9 and may run continuously or not reach set temperature; compressor may be very hot.

Safety: Do not attempt to open or recharge the sealed refrigeration system unless you are a licensed refrigeration technician. Unplug the unit before cleaning or inspection.

Steps to address E9:

• Clean condenser: Remove the rear lower panel and thoroughly clean the condenser coil to improve heat rejection.
• Check condenser fan: Ensure the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it does not operate.
• Verify door seals: Inspect door gaskets for gaps or tears that could cause excessive run time. Replace damaged gaskets.
• Monitor operation: After cleaning and basic checks, allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize. If E9 persists and the compressor runs nearly constantly with poor cooling, a sealed system issue (leak, restriction, or weak compressor) is likely.
• Contact a professional: Sealed system repairs require specialized tools and refrigerant handling certification. Arrange service with an authorized Fisher & Paykel technician.
