TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Door will not close
properly
• 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.
Wine Cellar does not
operate
• 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.
Wine Cellar is not cold
enough
• 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.
Wine Cellar is turning on
and off frequently
• 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.
Light does not work
• 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”.
Power is ON but the unit
will not cool
• 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:
o In a sunny place, a room with poor air circulation such as a garage
or near another heat-producing appliance such as a dishwasher,
oven or refrigerator.
o With an outlet shared with a refrigerator, as the refrigerator will
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.
Vibrations
• 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.
