PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Cellar does not
operate.
Not plugged in.
The appliance is turned off.
The circuit breaker tripped or a blown
fuse.
Plug the unit.
Press to turn on the unit.
Check the breaker and/or fuses.

The fans turn on
and off frequently.
In order to circulate the air and maintain the set temperature inside the cabinet the
fans must cycle on and off even when the compressor is off. The fans will cycle ON
and OFF while the compressor is off approximately every 10 seconds, this is called
“Semi-speed status”. This cycle is normal and meant both to circulate the air as
well as ensure the continued operational status of the fans. If the fan stops
completely and does not complete this cycle the fan is non-operational.
The light does not
work.
Not plugged in.
The circuit breaker tripped or a blown
fuse.
The light button is “OFF”.

noise.
The Cellar is not level.
Level the cellar.
The rattling noise may come from the
flow of the refrigerant, which is normal.

gurgling sounds caused by the flow of
refrigerant in your cellar. Contraction
and expansion of the inside walls may
cause popping and crackling noises.
