5. Troubleshooting
Your EdgeStar wine cooler is a thermoelectric refrigeration unit that uses
“green” thermoelectric cooling to store your wine under ideal conditions.
What are the benefits of thermoelectric cooling?
•
Low energy usage
•
No
vibration
•
Cools with little noise- the only noise produced is by the fans used to
dissipate heat.
What are some of its limitations?
•
Cooling takes longer than with equivalent compressor-based units- you
must allow 24 hours or more for the unit to reach its lowest temperature
•
Fans run constantly
•
Units are more sensitive to ambient temperature, sunlight conditions,
and potentially loading conditions- they may not cool to their theoretical
minimum temperature under adverse conditions
