KitchenAid 2300269 User Manual

■

Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer 
when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get 
everything you need out of the wine cellar at once, keep wine 
bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find, 
and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Control.”

■

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 prevents air transfer and 
makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See 
“Cleaning.”

■

Is the door opened often? Be aware that the wine cellar will 
warm when this occurs. In order to keep the wine cellar cool, 
try to get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once, 
keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are 
easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is 
removed.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Control.”

■

Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not 
install the wine cellar behind a cabinet door or block the base 
grille.

■

Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to 
get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once, keep 
wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to 
find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed. When 
the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters the wine 
cellar. 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 
wine cellar when the air is humid.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Control.”

■

Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the 
surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the 
gasket following cleaning.

■

Are the racks out of position? Put the racks back into their 
correct positions. See “Wine Cellar Use” for more 
information.

■

Is the gasket sticking? Clean the gasket and the surface 
that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gasket 
following cleaning.
