Why is there water on the floor behind my GE GWS04 Wine Cooler?
If you find water on the floor behind your GE Wine Cooler, ensure the door is closed properly and that no bottle is obstructing it. If you recently moved the unit, this is normal, as the drain pan above the compressor may be full after defrosting. Check for spills when moving the unit.

If rust, tarnish, or grime appears on the stainless steel doors of your GE Wine Cooler, it's likely due to a moist environment or salt air. Clean the stainless steel with cleaners containing oxalic acid.
Why is my GE Wine Cooler motor running for long periods?
It's normal for the motor to run for extended periods when the GE Wine Cooler is first plugged in; allow 12 hours for complete cool down. This can also occur when you place a large amount of wine inside. Ensure the door is closed properly and no bottles are obstructing it, as the door is not self-closing. Hot weather or frequent door openings can also cause this. If the temperature control is set to the coldest setting, this might also cause it. Finally, ensure the appliance has enough clearance from the wall, referring to the Installation Guidelines section.
What to do if there is condensation on the front of my GE GWS04 door?

What to do if there is water on the floor behind my GE GWS04 Wine Cooler?
