2. If there is a kink in the rubber gasket on the door, use a hair dryer for several
minutes and stretch the gasket into the proper shape. Then, close the doors for
several hours to allow the gasket to regain its proper shape.
3. If necessary, it is Ok to stuff the gasket with cloth or paper, and/or add another
wood strip inside the gasket, to push out the gasket so that it seals against the
door.
The cooling unit runs constantly.
The cooling unit is designed to turn on when the air temperature in the cellar rises
ABOVE the Minimum Set Point + Temperature Differential, and turn off when the air
temperature falls below the Minimum Set Point. For example, if the Minimum Set Point
is 58°F and the Temperature Differential is 4°F, the cooling unit will turn on above 62°F
and turn off below 58°F.
When bottles are first loaded in the wine cabinet, the cooling unit will run
continuously (even up to a week) until the temperature inside the cellar falls below
the Minimum Set Point.
The cooling unit will cool 25°F below the ambient temperature in the space outside
the condenser coils. In other words, when the ambient temperature in the space
outside the condenser coils is 85°F, the cooling unit can't cool below 60°F inside the
cellar.
Hot weather conditions, insufficient ventilation and/or dirty condenser coils can all
cause the cooling unit to run continuously. To reduce cycle times,
1. Clean the condenser coils
2. Check the ambient temperature in the space outside the condenser coils while
the cooling unit is running, making sure that the difference between this
temperature and the Minimum Set Point is no more than 25°F.
3. Increase the supply of cool air to the space outside the condenser coils, using a
fan or an exhaust system to remove heat from the space.
4. Raise the Minimum Set Point on the cooling unit
5. Make sure that the “Quick Chill” and “Energy Saver” features are not enabled
