My Avanti wine cooler is not cooling any more.

either needs freon or compressor faulty

I've added a link for an Avanti ewcb,
http://www.retrevo.com/support/Avanti-EWC16B-Refrigerators-manual/id/867bh235/t/2/. There you can find a complete manual on the product which will help you to locate where the problem is coming from. hope I've helped!

if you are handy go to a refrigeration supply hoese and buy a 3-1 pack remove the wires from the compressor let it cool if hot and hook to 120 volts wiring it shows you on the package..........luck

Hi, I tried to cross the model number you gave with Avanti and it did not do an exact cross reference.

Usually when a cooler slowly warms up the causes can be

1. The Compressor is not running at full speed or has stopped running

2. The PTC start / run relay / Klixon assy mounted on the Compressor has failed

3. The run capacitor has failed.

4. The temperature control has failed.

If the compressor is running and it is NOT cooling then there is a coolant leak or the coolant system had become blocked usually in the capillary tube area.

The current model numbers for parts are here:

And the Discontinued model parts are here:

Just note there are many aftermarket (like part) sources that will be much cheaper than Avanti sourced replacement parts. Most repair techs would advise you to use locally sourced replacement parts.

same problem, can not fix. Had a authorized service tech who said that you can not add freon to this unit, the only option is to plant flowers in it.

Press and hold both temperature controls until it beeps. It will reset to 50 degrees.

Is it cooling ok?Where did you find the oil? If is not cooling and you see an oil spot inside or outside where the compresor is that means there's a refrigerant leak.

First check the grating over the fan in the back. If it is covered with dust, there won't be enough air flow and the unit won't cool. Clean the dust off and see if it cools back down. It may take a long time to cool down if it is full of wine, so I recommend taking the wine out to test if it works.

pull it out and lay hands on the compressor and see if its running if not replace the thermostat

contact avanti cust svc they are easy to work with and want you happy tell them your promb but i suspect you need a new themostat
