Viking Wine Cooler Door Seal Failure

A worn, torn, or deformed door gasket on a Viking wine cooler allows warm, humid room air to enter the cabinet continuously, causing temperature fluctuations, increased compressor runtime, and potentially excessive condensation inside the unit. Signs include the compressor running almost continuously, visible condensation at the door edge, and temperature consistently above the set point.
