TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•
The wine cellar is not level.
•
The shelves are out of position.
•
The door gasket is dirty.
•
A bottle in the cellar is too long.
•
Check that unit is plugged into the wall socket.
•
Make sure the wall socket has power. If outlet is controlled by a wall
switch, make sure switch is set to on. Test wall socket functionality by
testing another electrical appliance in the power socket.
•
Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in the unit. When using the unit
for the first time, it can take up to 24 hours to reach the desired
temperature.
•
If the room temperature is at the high end of the ambient temperature
range, it may have more difficulty achieving a low internal temperature.
•
To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit should not be used or
operated in any of the following locations:
In a sunny place, a room with poor air circulation such as a garage
o
or near another heat-producing appliance such as a dishwasher,
oven or refrigerator.
With an outlet shared with a refrigerator, as the refrigerator will
o
drain power from the wine cellar.
•
Make sure the cooler has proper clearances at side and rear and is
located in a well-ventilated area.
•
Door is not closed tightly or is being opened too frequently.
•
This is simply a function of the cooling system. The lower the setting, the
more the fan will run. If the room is very warm, the cooler will run more.
•
The unit has been designed to run continuously when operating at the
lower temperatures.
•
Check to make sure the wine cooler is level.
•
The rattling noise may come from the flow of refrigerant. As each cycle
ends you may hear gurgling noises caused by the flow of the refrigerant.
This is normal.
•
Either too much humidity or too low of temperature inside cabinet. Unplug
cooler and allow to manually defrost. Reconnect when ice has melted. If
problem persists, contact for service instructions.
