TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
OPERATION
Power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a
grounded 3 prong outlet.
Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet
is working.
Household fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
Are controls on? Be sure that the wine cellar controls
are on. Refer “Controls” section.
THE MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH
Is the temperature outside hotter than normal?
Expect the motor to run longer under warm
conditions. At normal temperatures, expect your
motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under
warmer conditions, expect it to run even more of the
time.
Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run
longer when this occurs. In order to conserve energy,
try to get everything you need out of the wine cellar
at once. Keep wine bottles positioned label side up so
that they are easy to find, and close the door as soon
as the wine is removed.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? Refer “Controls” section.
Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly
shut. If it will not shut all the way, refer “The door will
not close completely” later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air
transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the
condenser coils. Refer “Cleaning” section.
TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE
TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM
Is the door opened often? Be aware that the wine
cellar will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the
wine cellar cool, try to get everything you need out of
the wine cellar at once. Keep wine bottles positioned
label side up so that they are easy to find, and close
the door as soon as the wine is removed.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? Refer “Controls” section.
Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do
not install the wine cellar behind a cabinet door or
block the base grille.
THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP
Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity
buildup, try to get everything you need out of the
wine cellar at once, keep wine bottles positioned label
side up so that they are easy to find, and close the
door as soon as the wine is removed. When the door
is opened, humidity from the room air enters the
wine cellar. The more often the door is opened, the
faster humidity builds up, especially when the room
itself is very humid.
Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up
inside the wine cellar when the air is humid.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? Refer “Controls” section.
DOOR
THE DOOR IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN
Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and
the surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin
wax on the gasket following cleaning.
THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY
Are the racks out of position? Put the racks back
into their correct positions. Refer “Wine Racks”
section for more information.
Is the gasket sticking? Clean the gasket and the
surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax
on the gasket following cleaning.
