switch, make sure switch is set to on. Test wall socket functionality by
testing another electrical appliance in the power socket.

Light does not work
•
Not plugged in or the appliance is turned off.
•
The circuit breaker tripped or a fuse has blown.
•
The light bulb has burned out.
•
The light button is “OFF”.
Power is ON but the unit
will not cool
•
Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in the unit. When using the unit
for the first time, it can take up to 24 hours to reach the desired
temperature.
•
If the room temperature is at the high end of the ambient temperature
range, it may have more difficulty achieving a low internal temperature.
•
To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit should not be used or
operated in any of the following locations:
o
In a sunny place, a room with poor air circulation such as a garage
or near another heat-producing appliance such as a dishwasher,
oven or refrigerator.
o
With an outlet shared with a refrigerator, as the refrigerator will
drain power from the wine cellar.
•
Make sure the cooler has proper clearances at side and rear and is
located in a well-ventilated area.
•
Door is not closed tightly or is being opened too frequently.
Vibrations
•
Check to make sure the wine cooler is on a level surface.
•
The rattling noise may come from the flow of refrigerant. As each cycle
ends you may hear gurgling noises caused by the flow of the refrigerant.
This is normal.
