Frost or ice build-up on back wall or around evaporator inside wine cooler

Safety: Unplug the unit before defrosting or removing panels. Do not use sharp tools to remove ice.

• Manual defrost: Empty the cabinet, unplug the cooler, and leave the door open until all ice melts. Place towels to catch water.
• Check vents and loading: Ensure interior air vents are not blocked by bottles or shelves. Maintain some space between bottles for airflow.
• Inspect gasket: Repair or replace a leaking door gasket that allows moist air in.
• Repeat occurrence: If heavy frost returns quickly, the defrost system (heater or sensor) may be faulty on models that have one. Follow defrost error procedures or contact a technician.
