Avanti BCA5102 Stainless Steel Compact Refrigerator - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about refrigerators and the fan noise that they develop sometimes...

Refrigerator Fan Noise

Hi,

Try to place on flat ground surface, u can balance its weight. Check compressor fan if its making noise.

Hello.
The problem with messing with the unit at this point, is the fact that you would void the warranty. Did you try plugging something else into the socket to make sure you are getting power? If the socket it ok you will need to return it or call a factory authorize servicer.

https://manualsdump.com/en/manuals/avanti-wc1500dss/66172/12 The above has a troubleshooting matrix. Power supply: Check if the wine fridge is receiving power from the mains supply. If it's not, there might be a major issue with the mains power or the PSU circuit board in the product that'll likely need replacing if it's faulty. Condenser fan: The condenser fan is designed to cool the condenser and condenser coil within the Avanti wine cooler. If it doesn't function, the condenser and coil can overheat - causing the internal area of the wine fridge to heat up too. Take a look at the rear of the unit and make sure the condenser fan is spinning freely and not blocked (by dust / dirt) or making excessive noise due debris or a blockage. Thermostat: If the Avanti wine fridge thermostat is working correctly, it's responsible for making the condenser, evaporator, fan, and compressor work - so it's super important! The thermostat also allows you to control and adjust the temperature of the wine cooler so if the reading on thermostat is inaccurate (or flat out wrong) the wine cooler temperature will likely be inaccurate too.

If your Avanti WCR683DZD-2 wine cooler's LED panel is blinking when plugged in and neither the fan nor the compressor comes on, there could be a few potential issues. Here are some steps you can take to begin troubleshooting and attempting to repair the unit:

1. Check power supply: Ensure that the wine cooler is receiving power by verifying that the outlet is functioning correctly. Try plugging in another device to confirm if the outlet is working properly.
2. Inspect the power cord: Examine the power cord for any signs of damage or wear. Make sure it is securely plugged into the wine cooler and the power outlet.
3. Check the control board: The blinking LED panel suggests a possible issue with the control board. Inspect the control board for any visible signs of damage, such as burnt components or loose connections. If you are knowledgeable about electronics, you can attempt to repair or replace the control board. Otherwise, it may be best to consult a professional technician or contact Avanti for further assistance.
4. Test the temperature control thermostat: The thermostat controls the operation of the fan and compressor. Using a multimeter, you can check the continuity of the thermostat to determine if it is functioning correctly. If it is faulty, it may need to be replaced.
5. Examine the compressor: Inspect the compressor for any visible issues, such as loose connections or damaged wires. Ensure that it is receiving power and that the compressor motor is not overheating. If the compressor is not running, it may require professional servicing or replacement.

This is Thermoelectric Cooler, so no compressor. Clean around the back where the heatsink and fan is. https://www.manuals.ca/avanti/ewc1201/manual?p=9 Customer Service is on the next page. ..

check the heating element

The single control is what you have to regulate temperature electrically. Variance in temperature is otherwise influenced by how much is contained within (which affects cooling circulation) and how much you keep opening the door. https://settingslab.com/avanti-mini-fridge-settings/

It is probably a K50. https://www.firstchoice-cs.co.uk/ranco-controls/rnck50-p1102

The most likely reason for commercial coolers and fridges not cooling is a low gas state. Did you get your gauges out and check the high and low side pressures before you started swapping parts out?

Drain to freezer, defrost and clean

Usually the vent at the rear of the freezer is blocked with ice. Often caused by a faulty heater or defrost timer. Also check the circulating fan for the fridge. ..

HI David, Please check there: https://manualsbrain.com/en/brands/avanti/fridges/ for a manual. Hope it's helpful

only one and it is " no wine for you"

Could be due to control board failure

If it gets hot and will not start, the first think to check is the capacitor. The capacitor creates a favorable phase shift on the incoming power and it pushes the motor to spin it at the start winding. Without the capacitor, you don't get that push you need and it does what we call in the field "single phasing". While the term single phasing is usually only used in 3 phase power, you can technically single phase a compressor with single phase power if the capacitor fails because you are losing your favorable phase shift causing in to not spin and overheat. I hope I didn't lose you on my explanation, but I want to try to explain it in a way that is understandable.

You'll have a rating on the capacitor that has a number followed by MFD of uf. This is your microfarid number. Your allowed +/- 6% of the rate capacitor number before is is deemed bad.

You'll need to find someone with a meter that reads microfarids to be able to test the capacitor.

Thermostat problem or air damper problem most likely

does the compressor start have a close listen could be going out on thermal overload,possible start relay faulty.

Is compressor continuously running? If so, and not cooling at all, most likely it’s a freon leak or blockage. If compressor is coming on and off every couple minutes, then it could be relay and overload that plugs onto compressor.
