Compromised seal on double-pane glass, High ambient humidity, Door frame warping, Manufacturing defect in insulated glass unit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Handle glass carefully to avoid breakage and injury.
- Differentiate normal vs internal fog: Light condensation on the exterior glass in humid conditions can be normal. Condensation between panes indicates a failed seal.
- Check door gasket and closure: Ensure the door closes tightly to minimize moisture ingress.
- Replace door assembly or glass: The seal between glass panes is not repairable. Order a replacement door assembly or insulated glass unit from Wine Enthusiast and install according to instructions.
Operating with failed door insulation can increase energy use and reduce cooling efficiency.
