What to do if my EdgeStar wine cooler does not turn on?
If your EdgeStar wine cooler isn't turning on, first, make sure it's properly plugged into a power outlet with sufficient amperage. Check if there's a power failure. Also, inspect your house fuse box or circuit breaker and replace any broken fuses or reset the breaker.
Why does my EdgeStar wine cooler turn on and off frequently?
Your EdgeStar wine cooler might be turning on and off frequently due to several reasons. The room temperature could be higher than the recommended ambient environment; in this case, run the cooler at the appropriate ambient temperature. Also, check if the door is being opened too often or is not completely closed, and minimize the number of times the door is opened, making sure that it is completely closed. The door gasket may not be sealing properly. Ensure that the door gasket is sealing properly. Finally, ensure the cooler has the suggested ventilation, following the guidelines in the “Installation Clearance Requirements” section.
What to do if my EdgeStar wine cooler will not reach the desired temperature?
If your EdgeStar wine cooler isn't reaching the desired temperature, ensure it's not placed too close to a heat source, such as direct sunlight. Make sure the cooler has sufficient ventilation, following the instructions in the “Installation Clearance Requirements” section. Also, avoid opening the door too frequently or for extended periods; close the door tightly.
Why is my EdgeStar wine cooler making strange noises?
If your EdgeStar wine cooler is making strange noises, first, be aware that certain sounds are normal, as detailed in the “Normal Sounds” section. If the noises seem unusual, check to ensure the unit is level and not touching any other appliances or furniture.
What to do if frost is forming in my EdgeStar wine cooler?
If frost is forming in your EdgeStar wine cooler, it could be due to a humid environment. Although the unit uses an auto-defrost system, manual defrosting might be needed. You can try running the cooler on a warmer temperature setting, minimizing how often you open the door, or unplugging the unit to allow the frost to melt.
What to do if the body of my EdgeStar Beverage Cooler is electrified?
If the body of your EdgeStar Beverage Cooler is electrified, it indicates that the unit is not grounded properly. Contact your local electrician to test your electrical grounding system.

The EdgeStar Built-in Beverage Cooler (CBR902SG) is designed for domestic indoor use, offering a reliable solution for storing beverages at optimal temperatures. This appliance is engineered for both free-standing and built-in installations, providing flexibility to integrate seamlessly into various home environments, such as under a counter or within kitchen cabinetry. It is crucial to ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, especially at the back, top, and sides, to maintain efficiency and allow for proper service access. The cooler operates on a standard electrical supply (115 V, 60Hz) and requires a properly grounded 3-pronged wall socket to minimize shock hazards. Before initial use, the unit should stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor's oils to settle, ensuring proper functioning.
The primary function of the CBR902SG is to cool and store beverages within a controlled temperature range, typically between 38°F and 65°F. This single-zone refrigerator is equipped with an internal fan that circulates air to maintain a consistent internal temperature, ensuring even cooling throughout the cabinet. A built-in carbon filter acts as a natural barrier against harmful odors, protecting the quality of the stored beverages. The unit features a temperature memory function, which means that in the event of a power outage, the previously set temperature will be saved and restored once power returns. For safety, the cooler includes a door ajar alarm that sounds if the door remains open for more than five minutes, helping to prevent poor cooling performance and potential damage to the unit. The appliance also features an automatic defrost system under most refrigerating settings, minimizing frost build-up. However, in colder or more humid conditions, some manual defrosting may be required.
Operating the CBR902SG is straightforward, with a user-friendly temperature control panel located on the unit. The control panel allows users to easily adjust the internal temperature using "Up" and "Down" buttons, with each press increasing or decreasing the temperature by one degree Fahrenheit. A "RUN LIGHT" indicates when the unit is in cooling mode, and a "Light Button" controls the inner light, allowing for visibility of the contents. The unit can be powered on and off by pressing and holding the "Power Button" for approximately three seconds. Users can also switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature displays by simultaneously pressing and holding both the "Up" and "Down" buttons for about three seconds.
The cooler is designed with adjustable leveling feet, which are essential for ensuring the unit is perfectly level, whether installed free-standing or built-in. This is critical for proper operation and to prevent issues such as the door not closing correctly. The door handle is installed by carefully removing decorative plugs, inserting screws through the gasket side of the door, and aligning the handle before tightening. The shelves inside the cooler are designed for easy installation and removal, allowing users to customize the storage space as needed. To remove shelves, the door must be fully open, and plastic notches need to be disengaged with a screwdriver before pulling the shelf forward.
The door swing can be reversed from right to left, offering additional flexibility for installation in various spaces. This process involves carefully removing the lower and upper hinges, repositioning them, and securing the door in its new configuration. Decorative plugs are also moved to the appropriate corners to maintain the unit's aesthetic.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are vital to ensure the CBR902SG operates efficiently and has a long lifespan. For exterior cleaning, the door and cabinet can be wiped down with a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution, such as two tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water. It is important to avoid solvent-based or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the unit's surfaces. For stainless steel panels, a cloth dampened with mild detergent and warm water solution is recommended to prevent discoloration, especially when exposed to chlorine gas or moisture.
Interior cleaning should be performed occasionally. Before cleaning the interior, the unit must be disconnected from the power supply, and the door should be opened to remove all contents and shelves. After the unit defrosts, the interior can be wiped down with a clean cloth. Once cleaned, the shelves and contents can be reinserted, and the unit reconnected to power.
The carbon filter, which protects against odors, should be replaced every 3 to 6 months, depending on the unit's exposure level to odors. In kitchen environments, more frequent replacement (every 3 months) is ideal.
In case the unit is to be stored for a long period or moved, it is necessary to defrost and dry the interior. This involves disconnecting the power, removing the power plug, and leaving the door open to allow for air circulation and prevent mold or unpleasant smells. For safety, especially if children are present, it is advised to store the unit out of reach or even remove the door to prevent accidental entrapment.
The troubleshooting section of the manual provides guidance for common issues such as the cooler turning on and off frequently, not turning on, not reaching the desired temperature, or making strange noises.
