My Emerson FR24RD Wine Cooler won't stay cold. Any suggestions? Also looking for somewhere to take to be repaired in Rochester, NY.
If you are handy with small electrics, or know someone who is...
I had a similar problem and just solved it.
My cooler was leaking and had trouble keeping the proper temperature.
It was also making a buzzing sound which is what lead me to my solution.
BTW - The liquid that was leaking was condensation, probably because the unit was not holding a constant temperature.
Unplug the unit first - no need to get electrocuted.
These units use peltier cooling- essentially a large heat sink with three fans attached.
Click here for more info regarding peltier cooling.
The peltier unit is not repairable, but the fans are; which was what my problem was.
There are three fans on this unit, one on the inside and two on the outside.
Follow these steps to remove them.
Hope this helps and Good Luck
I ordered one each of the fans from Newark for my 8-bottle Emerson FR24SL wine cooler. Newark were prompt in filling my order. Within four business days my cooler is working again. It's a very simple fix for a handyman.

There are three fans with the fr23rd, one in the cooling compartment and two in the rear ,mine froze up in the rear after two years , i just took the motors in the rear out lubed them and re-installed them and it works perfect. I'm going to order two rear fan just in case , its really easy to replace them.

Wine cooler started overheating and condensation formed inside glass. Cleaned filter still temperature shot up.
FR24RD, 1 yeart old on Christmas, no cooling and condensation. Do these all self destruct after 1 year?
Emerson has NO service information on their website.
Mine won't cool lower than 60 degrees
Yes, I also have a Emerson wine cooler, FR24SL. my cooler also was running hot. I removed the back, but mine has only one fan that i can see .The fan will not turn freely. it"s 3.5" wide. Will the 92mm fan work. sorry not up on my metric......
I also have an Emerson wine cooler FR24SL, not coolling past 70. Fan runs but does not cool.
My emerson wine cooler also one year old- power went out and it has not worked since!!
Maybe just a ploy to get us to buy new ones!
Also have had FR24RD for about a year. Purchased from Target. Does not hold Temp and condensation puddles inside. Both fans spin and appear to be working normally. Took unit back plate and "fan system" apart, cleaned it, and still not cooling. Extremely frustrated.
I have the same problem with my 8 bottle Emerson wine cooler. I have had it just over 16 months and it quit cooling and water began puddling up in the bottom of the unit. I cleaned the fan and screen in the back and it seemed to work for about a week and then it quit cooling again. I assume that whatever was wrong with it initially was still wrong with it after I cleaned it. Seems to me that there should be a recall as the product is defective.
