### Three jobs, and it can fail at one

Temperature within a narrow band, humidity with it, and no vibration. A cabinet can be doing two of those perfectly while it has stopped doing the third, which is why “it is still cold” is not the same as “it is still working”.

### What actually goes wrong

- **A thermistor** on one zone.
- **A zone fan or a damper.**
- **Airflow** where the cabinet stands.
- **The door seal** and the glass.
- **The sealed system**, last, and only when every zone is wrong at once.

### What to have ready

The model number, the number of zones, which zone is wrong, and whether the cabinet is built under a counter or standing free.

What this involves

Zone-by-zone diagnosis before any major part

Level and airflow checked as real causes

Door seal and glass treated as thermal parts

Which zone, and by how much

One zone wrong and one right places the problem downstream of the compressor. Both wrong is a different conversation.

Level and airflow

A built-under cabinet out of level or boxed into a run with no ventilation cannot lose its heat. Both are five-minute checks that occasionally solve the whole complaint.

The zone hardware

Thermistor, zone fan, damper. Measured rather than replaced in sequence.

A glass door is doing real thermal work in a South Florida kitchen, and a seal that no longer meets the frame shows up as a cabinet that never settles.

### The top zone is warm and the bottom is perfect.

Good news, oddly. One compressor and one condenser serve the whole cabinet, so if one zone holds correctly both of those are working. It is a thermistor, a zone fan or a damper — smaller, faster and cheaper.

### There is condensation on the inside of the glass.

In August here, sometimes that is the room. What is not the room is water pooling in the base or a seal that no longer meets the frame, and both are worth catching before the cabinet starts frosting.

### It has got noisier.

Worth a look. These cabinets are designed to be quiet because vibration is bad for wine, so a change in sound is a genuine early signal — usually a condenser fan or a cabinet no longer getting enough air.
