I have Vinotemp wine chiller model number VT-21TEDS-2Z. It is Dual zone and the bottom zone temperature is to low. I set it to 60 but it is at 49. The temperature controller does not seem to control it.

Brand? Model?
There should be a display (digital) at top of chiller or at least one or two dials at the rear of chiller cabin near the sides. You should be able to set each area by adjusting dial(s). Though there are some units that have only one dial as with the Sears brand that will presume you load the wine bottles at the top or bottom of box.

check the air exchange under and at back of unit if its to hot or dusty will effect how unit preforms if good and clear possible thermostat or motherboard circuit last would be low on freon

It sounds like your thermostat is set to low, if there is a fan check it. That can also happen for a while before it quits working if there is a refrigrent leak.

Could be any number of reasons. If it's had problems with setting temperature, suspect the thermostat first, Failing that, check through the power circuit from mains in to compressor.

Of course! There is a wide variety of single cooling systems for wine bottles. We don't drink a lot of wine, but when we have guests over I like to have the wine chilled properly. I prefer the stainless steel coolers, since the look more sleek and stylish.

You may have to replace the control board on the unit. You can order parts from Vintotemp @ 800-777-8466

I have the same problem. When I first discovered this, both fans had stopped working and the temp for both zones was over 80. So much for the wine that had been stored there. After leaving the unit unplugged for a few days, the fan for the lower section started working again but the upper fan is still overheating. Haier customer service says too bad, so sad (I discovered this problem in the 13th month of ownership). I'm sure it is not worthwhile to fix this so it is going out with the trash and I'll look for a different brand for the next wine cellar that I purchase. Any ideas?

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.

I found the vinotemp trouble shooting webpage that has good info for several different VT models. Here is the link. http://www.vinotemp.com/troubleshoot_pdf.htm
