    bought one at x-mas



    reads 6 degrees but is actually 13 degree's inside



    so we took it back



    same problem again with the the second unit



    it is probably due to where ever the thermostat sensor is located

    Dual Temperature only cools to 55 degrees and 57 degrees. Temp won't go
    lower. I emptied the fridge and reset both temps. This did nothing .. it just stays 55 and 57.

    Temperature will not cool to below 64 and 62. The fridge will allow me to change the temperature to cooler but does not cool (in fact it gets hotter). We unplugged it overnight but when I plugged it back in in the morning it did the same thing. What is the problem?

  • kiatan May 13, 2008

    Same problem.... does not cool. The compressor feels hot to the touch. Before the cooling went I noticed a rattling noise intermittently before it completely packed it in.

    1st day - shows 75:76 on the displey , even though when I hold the buttons for few seconds, it shows that the set tempreture is 43:54.

    2nd day - shows 66:66 on the displey , doesn' t get cooler.

    We just baught this wine cooler 2 days ago , and this thing is too heavy to carrie it back and forth to the store to fix. How can I fix it by myself , or can I book an appointment with a tech support at my house?

    IS NOT COOLING

  • Anonymous Jun 23, 2008

    My Danby model DWC044BLP wine cooler is up to 23 degrees C. It won't get cooler. I held the defferent lower temperature for five seconds: nothing. I unplugged it; nothing. I called Guelph, but was on hold forever. Calling them is a joke. Any service centres around Lindsay?

    on our second Unit. Will not stay cool no matter what we try. Hard to find Customer Assistance from the Mfg.
    Is there perhaps a Coolant in they Unit that we should be checking? Owners Manual no help at all.

    Danby DWC283BLS Wine Cooler lower unit won't cool below 56 degrees.

  • wavedance Apr 05, 2009

    We noticed that the temperature reading is 70 F.  We left it unplugged for the night, and the compressor did kick on, but the compressor just got hot and to cooler stayed at 70.  The compressor was not covered in dust, but I still cleaned everything off.

CWC-1600 cools constantly
More than likely, the thermostat on the unit is going bad. If the coils haven't been cleaned recently, then I suggest that you unplug the unit, clean it well and then cycle it back on. If it continues, then the thermostat that's located within the unit is going bad. Please refer to the owners manual for proper service and maintenance for your unit. https://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/content/pdfs/140265-1.pdf

My danby wine cooler does not get cold enough
Cool enough? You know most wine and beer only like it about 50 degrees and not any cooler. If it up at 55 and you have set it lower then the room is probably warmer then it can handle to cool them. I have some in the garage but in July and August the struggle to stay any cooler then 55 but then they are not expensive units either. Danby is cheap brand too. Nothing they make is that great.

Viking Wine Cellar Temperature Near-Freezing
Viking wine coolers are made by Marvel.They all had issues with freezing the contents. If you replace the electronic cold control system it will be fine.If you don't, it will freeze the wine popping the corks and leaking in the unit.If you get the parts from Marvell they are much cheaper.

I have an LG AC and the lowest temperature setting is 60 degrees
Lowering the temperature setting doesn't change the temperature of the air coming out of the unit it just lets it run until the room temperature gets colder. Check the temp of the air coming out of the unit. If it isn't as cold as it used to be the charge could be low. First though you should make sure the filters are clean and the coils.You should also check the actual room temp. It's also possible the unit doesn't have enough capacity to keep up with the cooling load of the room.

The temperature gauge on my 2002 grand prix dose
the temperature sending unit on a 97 grand prix 3800 gt(which is also the coolant temperature sensor) is not accurate. the sending unit part of this sensor only sends info to the guage on the dash. the coolant sensor part sends info to the computer of the car. it is located under thermostat and somewhat difficult to get at. i had put a brand new one in and my temperature on my dash is all over the place---even with good thermostat and properly bled system. when i hook up a scanner to my computer, the coolant sensor is sending the computer(ecu??) what seems to be the right temp. anywhere from 194 degrees to 217 when hot. the guage however on dash go from 160 to 260 in less than 2 minutes.

MY FREEZER IS GETTING TOO COLD AND THE FRIDGE IS NOT GETTING COLD AT ALL
In most refrigerator freezers, the refrigerator gets its cold from the freezer. The evaporator fan circulates air over the coils in the freezer and cold air circulates into the refrigerator through vents. If the vents are blocked or closed, then the fridge will not get cold enough but the freezer will. If neither is cold enough, then the number of possibilities increases.
Lowering the freezer temperature will increase the cooling cycle activity. Setting the refrigerator temperature may have little affect on the cooling cycles because it simply changes the vent opening size. Decreasing the fridge temperature opens the vents more and increases air circulation from the freezer.
The temperature can be adjusted using the controls found inside the refrigerator or freezer. The ideal freezer temperature is about 0 to 5 degrees (F) and about 38 degrees (F) for the fridge.
Measure the temperature by placing a cup of water with a cooking thermometer into the refrigerator for about 2 hours or more. To test the freezer, substitute alcohol or cooking oil.

Whirlpool Beverage Center (WBC127BLS) - Won't cool enough
If you're handy with a soldering iron, it's possible to 'trick' the fridge into cooling down a few more degrees.

Long version:
If you open the door to the fridge, on the right wall near the bottom is a small plastic grate. You should be able to pull this straight out from the side wall. There is a temperature sensor attached to the back of the grate. Unplug the sensor. (The fridge will then give you a very annoying error beep and display "EE" on the readout. Pushing the °F-°C button stopped the beeping.) This sensor will change resistance with temperature. (The lower the temperature, the higher the resistance) I was reading a resistance of about 3700 ohms at 43°F and 2460 ohms at 68°F. Throw in a rough assumption that the response is linear and it works out to almost 50ohms/degree. In order to 'trick' the fridge into cooling down more, you need to drop the resistance. I was aiming for about 6 degrees cooler. Assuming the resistance response was linear, 6 degrees cooler would give me about 4000 ohms from the sensor. By jumpering a 50000 ohm resistor (yes, 50K ohm) in parallel with the sensor, I should get about 6 degrees cooler. I did the soldering, plugged the sensor back in, and ended up about 8 degrees cooler. Two days so far, everything appears good and the beer is cold.

Short version:
Put a 50K ohm resistor in parallel with the temperature sensor behind the grate on the inside right hand wall.

The temperature read out will be inaccurate forever after though. But then, I just want cold beer, my wife wants cold water, and the kids want to play with the cool blue light. I don't care what the number on the readout is.
