Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I change a light tube?
Light tubes are held in place by two nylon clamps, and are connected using male/female plug connections
on each of the wires. First unplug the unit that you are working on (there maybe more than one electrical
cord on your unit). Carefully separate the blue male connector from the blue female connector on each
electrical wire. DO NOT PULL ON THE WIRE TO SEPARATE PLUGS. You may use pliers if
needed. Next, slide disconnected light tube to the left until it comes out of one the retaining clamps, then
slide the light tube to the right until it drops free. Reverse process to re- install.
2. Where can I find the light switch?
The light switch for these models is located on the metal temperature display plate mounted on the front
of your cabinet.
3. What temperature should my thermostat be set to?
WineKeeper has preset the white wine side to 44
o - 45 o F. The thermostat has an operational range of
approximately 45 o - 62 o F. Attempting to adjust the thermostat beyond the operational range will either
lock the refrigerator in the full on or full off position. A full on position will cause the unit to ice up.
4. Where do I adjust the thermostat on my Magnum unit?
The thermostat is located inside the refrigerator compartment at the back of the cabinet. Remove the four
Phillips screws on the 11 ¼" x 11 ¼" louvered vent grill. The thermostat is the white box marked Danfoss
with a knob on top. When viewed from above, a clockwise rotation will raise the air temperature, whereas
a counterclockwise rotation will lower the air temperature. A 1/2 rotation changes the air temperature
approximately 2-3
o F.
Important note: If your unit is running at the proper temperature for an extended period of time and
suddenly or gradually strays from the optimal temperature, take note, this may be a sign of a more serious
problem. Such problems may include inadequate air flow across the rear coils, low refrigerant levels, or a
compressor failure.
5. How do I adjust the divider?
Plexiglas Magnum dividers can be repositioned to change the split between red and white wines. In most
cases, they can also be adjusted to allow more or less cold air into the red wine compartment. To
reposition the divider, gently knock the bottom of the divider loose about 3-4 inches from the silicone
sealant that holds it in place. Twist the rear of the divider away from the back wall and slide the divider to
its new location. Use a razor blade to scrape away the old silicone. Stand the divider upright and square it
to the rear wall. Next, apply small beads of silicone along the entire bottom edge of both sides of the
divider. Open the tear-drop shaped cover over the upper and lower holes in the divider to decrease the
temperature in the red wine compartment. Close the covers to increase the temperature in the red wine
compartment. If the temperature in the red wine compartment remains too cold, see instructions under
"heat pad adjustments".
6. How do I adjust the heat pad located in the red wine compartment of my Magnum unit?
6-10 bottle Magnums have a red wine compartment heating device to raise the temperature in the
compartment if needed. The control knob is located on the back of the unit for rear-venting refrigerators
and behind the covered face plate on front venting refrigerators. A full counterclockwise turn is off and a
clockwise rotation increases the amount of heat transferred into the red wine compartment. Only use this
device after both the tear-dropped shaped Plexiglas cover plates have been fully closed in the divider wall
