How to Repair a Cooluli Classic-4L That Won't Cool

Introduction

Mini refrigerators are becoming increasingly popular among makeup and skincare users, and many affordable options are sold by popular retailers. The cooling mechanisms of a “skincare fridge” can fail due to lack of ventilation space, which causes frost buildup. A Cooluli Classic-4L thermo-electric cooler can stop cooling if ice builds up on the inside of the refrigerator and freezes the coils.

This guide will walk you through defrosting your refrigerator and cleaning the inside ventilation fan so that your Cooluli Classic-4L can cool down again.

Before you begin, make sure to unplug your Cooluli Classic-4L from any external power source.

What if it has stopped cooling but there is no ice buildup??

Mine doesn't have frosting either but all of a sudden it stopped cooling. The air vent is not blocked or anything. I had it for a year and a half working just fine and all of a sudden it stopped working. And now the green light blinks when I turn it on.

Same. Just stopped working. Great lil fridge too.

Green light is not working or on at all. Was a little dust buildup but nothing overwhelming.

Might be done.
