Wine cooler is not turning on. What to do?A wine cooler is an appliance that is yet to become widespread, and nowadays it is popular mostly among connoisseurs of this noble drink. This type of refrigeration equipment allows to keep a large amount of wine away from vibrations and temperatures that can negatively affect the flavor and quality of wine over time. The difference between wine coolers and regular fridges is directly related to the wine storage requirements. The chamber temperature is usually maintained in the range of 44.6-64.4 °F depending on the type of wine in stock (sparkling, white, red, sweet, etc.).A compressor is installed on special vibration-proof brackets to prevent the collection from negative effects of vibration. When you buy this appliance you should first leave it unplugged for a few hours. This will allow the compressor oil to drip down to the motor since it spreads over the system during transportation. After that, connect the power and turn on the cooler. If you turn it on but nothing happens, it’s time to call a warranty service to solve the problem. If a wine cooler suddenly stops working after a few years of operation, you can try to sort out the problem by yourself.Things to focus onTo understand what to look for, you should find out what prevents the cooler from starting. For example, the compressor is not starting but some indicators are working, or the unit is not reacting to anything at all. If no indicators are illuminated when a cooler is switched on, you should check the power connection and outlet voltage availability. If the electrics is fine, the fault is likely to be in the control unit, and you should better hand over this defect to a service center. If switching on is not followed by the sound of a working motor, check if the door is tightly closed. If a closed door is not tight, the cooling will not start. The next thing to pay attention to is the correct temperature mode. For other checks, we recommend calling a specialist as it requires unit disassembling.Potential reason – electronics issuesControl module failure is another common fault of a cooler. This is a board with a programmed processor that controls the appliance operation. If something happens to it (a burnt element or faulty controller), you should not expect it to start.Repair peculiaritiesIt is usually quite expensive and unreasonable to do such a repair. The high price is explained by the necessity to call a service center authorized by a manufacturer. Many backyard specialists have never seen this kind of appliance and can hardly repair such a complicated component. That is why most users prefer to buy a new wine cooler in case of this type of defect. This is especially true when the price of the stored collection is more than the price of a cooler, so there’s hardly anyone wishing to tinker with the appliance.
