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 won’t turn on.
The cooling system is programmed with a 3-Minute Delay at Startup to protect its internal
components.
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
