When the owner takes care of regular cleaning and arranges a maintenance visit every six months, the life of the wine cooler prolongs. A compressor cooling system comprises four elements, one of which is a fan designed to cool down the condenser and condenser coil. This component turns on with the entire system, and when it doesn’t, the condenser and coil may overheat. In the long run, this will provoke heat transfer from the elements of the system to the interior of the cabinet, warming it up together with all your delicious wine. If no dust or debris is obstructing the fan movement, the fan is most probably broken, and you’ll have to replace it. Unplug the wine cooler and turn it so you have access to the back panel. The fan is on the back of the cooler. Pull the fan part-way out of the cooler. It's still attached to the wiring, so don't pull too hard. Look for the plug attachment for the fan by tracing the wiring back from the fan. There will be a plastic plug interfacing two sets of wires. Press the clips (if any) while pulling the plugs apart. Grip the plastic, not the wires and use firm, even pressure. Unplug the fan. Plug the new fan into the wiring harness. Plug in the cooler to test the fan's operation. If it comes on normally then you can unplug the cooler again and proceed. Re-mount the fan in place with the mounting screws. Tighten them firmly, but not over-tight. Use the same amount of force as you would opening a doorknob. Replace the cover (if any was removed) and screw it back in place as well. Plug in the cooler and slide it back in place. If you are not sure about the steps of replacement, it is better to arrange a technician’s visit. Visit our website or give us a call for more details. We fix - you relax!
