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.
Not plugged in or the appliance is turned off.
The circuit breaker tripped or a fuse has blown out.
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.
Check the temperature control setting.
External environment may require a higher setting.
The door is opened too often.
The door is closed completely.
The door gasket is not sealing properly.
The room temperature is hotter than normal.
The door is opened too often.
The door is not closed completely.
The temperature control is not set correctly.
The door gasket does not seal properly.
Not plugged in or the appliance is turned off.
The circuit breaker tripped or a fuse has blown.
The light bulb has burned out.
The light button is "OFF".
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.
Check to make sure the wine cooler is on a level surface.
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.
