1. The WINE-MATE unit needs to be plugged in.
2. Locate the red and white wires going to the temperature controller input 7
and 8.
3. Set the voltmeter to the AC 200 scale.
4. Touch and hold one voltmeter probe to one of the wire terminals, then
touch and hold the other probe to the other wire terminal
5. The voltmeter shall show a reading of 115 volts.
C. Output Live Voltage
1. In order to test the output of the temperature controller, the WINE-MATE
cooling unit must be plugged in and powered up.
2. The input voltage must read at least 115 volts.
3. Set the temperature 5
°
F above the ambient temperature.
4. Set the voltmeter to the AC 200 scale, and the voltmeter shall read 0 volts.
5. Now warm the thermistor by hands for a while until the cooling unit starts.
6. Locate the orange and black wires leaving from the temperature controller
output 2 and 5.
7. Touch and hold one voltmeter probe to the orange or black wire, then
touch the other probe to the white wire.
8. Now the voltmeter shall read 115 volts.
9. If the readings are both correct the electronic controller is good.
6) Thermistor
1. Disconnect the thermistor connector from the temperature controller.
2. Set ohmmeter to the R x 10K scale.
3. Immerse the tip of the thermistor into ice water for five minutes
4. Touch the ohmmeter probes to the wire terminals on the connector. The
meter shall indicate 27
±
10%.
5. Reconnect the thermistor.
7) Fans
The WINEMATE 3500-8500 HZD units use each fan to pull air across the
condenser and evaporator coils. The safest way to check one of the motors is
doing a resistance check. An alternate method is checking with live voltage.
A. Resistance
1. Unplug WINEMATE cooling unit or disconnect power.
2. Disconnect the fan motor wiring from the terminal block, remove one wire
at a time, and carefully label each wire.
3. Set the ohmmeter scale to the lowest setting. Touch and hold one
ohmmeter probe to one of the wire terminals, then touch and hold the
other probe to the other wire.
