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.
