Beverage/Wine cooler not cooling

Everstar Beverage Wine Cooler HDBC36ID not cooling

Ouch ... prior fixya thread on this model paints a pretty bad reliability picture...

Fan is wired separately from the cooling unit. you may have a wire corrosion issue. take put the shelves, disassemble the back of the unit from the inside and observe the wiring to see if there are broken or corroded wires/connections. R/R if necessary.

Do you still have your Franklin HDWC35 wine cooler?

The beverage center and wine cellars have a temperature display for each zone. 12 volts

AC is supplied to the display board from a transformer in the unit compartment. The displays are only temperature displays and have nothing to do with any cooling function. A thermistor is used to sense temperature for each zone. The thermistor for the bottom zone is located inside the lower portion of the separator. The thermistor for the top zone on the wine cellar, (mid zone on beverage

center), is located in the upper portion of the separator. The thermistor for the beverage center upper zone is located on the inside of the 2-piece evaporator cover. It is on the right-hand side.

The mid temperature for the bottom zones on either unit are 60? Fahrenheit plus or minus 5 degrees. The mid temperature for the mid zone on the beverage center and the top zone

on the wine cellar is 45? Fahrenheit plus or minus 5 degrees. The mid temperature for the

top zone on the beverage center is 38? Fahrenheit plus or minus 5 degrees. I think at tis time you should check each section with a pocket size digital thermometer to cofirm tha the mechanical thermostat is within calibration. Click Here=> 4344690 Temperature Control

I believe the problem may be in the PCB transformer shown at the bottom right corner of the wiring diagram. It is possible o change the transformer but I have not been able to find the board that powers the LED temperature readouts. If needed let me know and I will call Whirlpool mfor you, Thanks, Sea Breeze

I have wine cooler like yours that broke down and will sell parts off it before sending it to recycling center. [email protected]

Beverage Air does make a separate thermostat for use with wine storage.

Im sorry franklen indust everstar wine systems are very hard to get parts for also the manual Not a very good unit eather according to reviews

All cooler have a condensor and it does need to clean out from time to time , when the cooler doesn't work -doesn't cool- this is the first thing to look for clean it and see how it goes, it is a normal maintainance to keep the cooler working . God Bless and have a nice day

Mine is 11 months old - pooling water on right (which is theside i keep colder for beer/soda/water), also my glass door on right has water between panes, I just called franklin (everstar) and they say a service guy will call in 5 days... I hope.

Did you get help and are you 'happy' with the service done?

I returned our unit to Home Depot with relative ease... I think they were all aware there is a problem with these units.

They refunded the full purchase price (even though I was well past the 12-month warranty period). I put the money toward a GE Profile unit that's a little bigger - more expensive, yes; but it works, priceless!
