Call service for diagnosis
a. Reset AC
a. When using an air probe, the wine bottle
temperature is mainly controlled by the
average air temperature. If the set-point
is 55°F with the differential 4F, the
cooling unit turns on at 59°F of air
temperature (It may be higher than 59°F
if it is in anti-short cycle or defrost) and
turns off at 55°F of air temperature. The
average air temperature is 57°F, and
then the wine temperature is around
57+/- 0.5°F. The air is light enough to
change so quickly that it maintains
relatively constant average
temperature that would prevent wine
bottle temperature from fluctuating.
a. Lower the setting
the
a.
Move the air probe away from the
displaying
evaporator
b.
Move the air probe away from the
cold-air supply
c.
Call service for diagnosis
a.

opening
b.
Check for excessive size
c.
Check for evaporator fans
d.
Check for air restrictions, air short-
circulation, grille directions
