Power supply: Check if the wine fridge is receiving power from the mains supply. If it's not, there might be a major issue with the mains power or the PSU circuit board in the product that'll likely need replacing if it's faulty.
Condenser fan: The condenser fan is designed to cool the condenser and condenser coil within the Avanti wine cooler. If it doesn't function, the condenser and coil can overheat - causing the internal area of the wine fridge to heat up too. Take a look at the rear of the unit and make sure the condenser fan is spinning freely and not blocked (by dust / dirt) or making excessive noise due debris or a blockage.
Thermostat: If the Avanti wine fridge thermostat is working correctly, it's responsible for making the condenser, evaporator, fan, and compressor work - so it's super important! The thermostat also allows you to control and adjust the temperature of the wine cooler so if the reading on thermostat is inaccurate (or flat out wrong) the wine cooler temperature will likely be inaccurate too.
Question edited for clarity, maker.
Question moved from Watches to U-Line Wine Fridge.
They are usually an expanding plug. You push it to the hole and press the central pin. If you can grip it with pliers, you can pull it out. The other way is to use a nail punch and push the pin all the way through, pull out the support and retrieve the pin from the insulated cavity.
Its really hard to determine without proper diagnosis, but are you sure it indeed has a compressor? does it run ? Does it have a circulating fan inside? A lot of the wine coolers I've dealt with were "Peltier" coolers. They use electronics to cool usually only to about 10deg below room temp. They require a load ( in this case wine bottles ) to operate properly. They don't have a cold control like a refrigerator.
Turn the temperature dial to the lowest temperature setting. Wait 24 hours for the wine cooler to reach the desired temperature. Also, turn the wine cooler off and inspect the fan. If the fan if it's running or not.
Lastly, check the compressor.
These are the areas that could make your wine cooler stop cooling; the temperatue settings (Thermostat), then Fan and the compressor.
Check these three areas and let me have a feed back.
rer Sorry to read about your problem. you can have many different problems. 1. Bad temp control 2. Failing compressor 3. Defective start cap 4. Defective overload protector 5. Defective control board
I suggest you call a service company.
I have tried to help you. Please help me, by Vote/Rate my response. Thanks.
the motor could be defective or it could be low o refrigerant causing the pressure switch to not kick on the fan. Could even be wires have come loose from the fan. If the fan does not work it won't cool. however it mould most likely cosy you more to fix if you take it to a shop to have it repaired if you have the tools to test it with I can help you so let me know if you have a test meter volt ohm meter and I can tell you how to test the system.
Check your cold control ( thermostat). Is it turned on? If so, is it good? Is it turned up to a colder temperature? If nothing is happening, unplug it. Disassemble the cold control. chances are, there are two wires to it. Twist the two wires together. Plug it back in, making sure that the wires are touching anything. Check the compressor and see if it is running? Is there a fan inside? If so, is it working? If the wires made the compressor and fan, if present, to come on, chances are, the cold control is bad.
