TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
You can solve many common wine cellar problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible
service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling the
servicer.
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.
Check the breaker and/or fuses.
Cellar is not cold
enough.
External environment may require a higher
setting.
The door is opened too often.
The door is not closed completely.
The door gasket does not seal properly.
Check the temperature control setting.
Close the door properly.
Check the door gasket.
The compressor
turns on and off
frequently.
The room temperature is hotter than normal.
A large amount of contents has been added
to the cellar.
The door is opened too often.
The door is not closed completely.
The temperature control is not set correctly.
The door gasket does not seal properly.
Close the door properly.
Check the door gasket.
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”.
Plug the unit.
Check the breaker and/or fuses.
Vibrations.
The cellar is not levelled
The bottles are vibrating.

Check to assure that the cellar is level.
Make sure the bottles don’t touch each
others.
Remove the object.
The cellar seems to
make too much
noise.
The Cellar is not level.
Level the cellar.
The rattling noise may come from the flow
of the refrigerant, which is normal. As each
cycle ends, you may hear gurgling sounds
caused by the flow of refrigerant in your
cellar. Contraction and expansion of the
inside walls may cause popping and
crackling noises.
The door will not
close properly.
The Cellar is not level.
The door was reversed and not properly
installed.
The gasket is dirty.
The shelves are out of position.
