Troubleshooting Guide: 

 

You can easily solve many common problems by trying the suggestions below: 
 

 
SYMPTOM 
 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

Vibrations 

 

 

Check to make sure the wine cooler is on a level surface. 

The door will not close 
properly. 

 

 

The wine cooler is not on a level surface. 

 

The racks are out of position. 

 

Fan is always running. 

 

This is simply a function of the cooling system. The lower the 
setting, the more the fan will run. If the room is warmer than 77°F 
(25°C), it will run more. 

 

The unit has been designed to run continuously when operating 
at the lower temperatures. 

Unit has no power. 

 

Check the wall outlet for power. Make sure the outlet is not 
controlled by a wall switch. 

The inside temperature 
does not seem correct. 

 

Make sure the cooling vents on each side of the cooler are not 
obstructed. Have at least 5 inches (15cm) of space on each side 
of unit. 

 

The unit will have difficulty in cooling if the set temperature is 
32°F (0°C) below the ambient temperature. 

Example: if the ambient temperature is 86°F (30°C), the unit 
will have difficulty cooling to 54°F (12°C). 

 

When using the unit for the first time, it can take up to 24 hrs to 
reach the desired temperature. 

 
The unit does not 
operate. 

 

 

It may not be plugged into the wall socket. 

 

Make sure the wall socket is functional by testing another 
electrical appliance in the power socket. 

 

Make sure the circuit breaker is not tripped or a fuse is blown. 

The unit will not cool. 
Power is On. 

Make sure there are at least 3-5 bottles in the unit. 
Allow at least 24 hours for the internal temperature to adjust 
properly. 
 

*Because of technological limitation , the interior temperature can be 
set between 54°F (12°C) and 66°F (19°C) on the control panel only at 
the room temperature of 77°F (25°C).

 

 
To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit should 

not

 be used 

or operated in any of the following locations: 

 

in a sunny place. 

 

in a room with poor air circulation such as a garage. 

 

near another heat producing appliance (dishwasher, oven, 
refrigerator). 

 

with an outlet shared with a refrigerator as it will drain power from 
the unit. 

 

built-in a wall recess, niche or cabinet. 

 

in a cabinet or closet. 

 

And remember to have at least 5 inches (15 cm) of space on 
each side of unit.
