DIAGNOSIS & TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order
to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service
call.
THE UW, BC, UR WILL
NOT OPERATE
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
• Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug
into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit
breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset
the circuit.
• Is the Unit Control turned to the OFF posi-
tion?
THE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK
• Is a light bulb loose in the socket? Unplug
unit or disconnect power. Gently remove the
bulb and reinsert. Plug in unit or reconnect
power.
• Has a light bulb burned out? Replace with
an appliance bulb of the same wattage, size,
and shape.
THERE IS WATER IN THE
DEFROST DRAIN PAN
• Is the unit defrosting? The water will evapo-
rate. It is normal for water to drip into the de-
frost pan.
• Is it more humid than normal? Expect that
the water in the defrost pan will take longer
to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or
humid.
THE mOTOR SEEmS
TO RUN TOO mUCH
• Is the temperature outside hotter than nor-
mal? Expect the motor to run longer under
warm conditions. At normal temperatures,
expect the motor to run about 40% to 80% of
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it
to run even more of the time.
• 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 unit at once, keep wine bot-
tles 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 surround-
ing conditions?
• 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 hard-
er. Clean the condenser coils.
