The Wine Cooler will not maintain a 57 degree temp and hovers between 66-69.
It is less than 2 years old.
The manual suggested reseting the cooler, there does not appear to be a reset button on the unit.
I have put a separate air condition unit in the room to keep the ambient temperature down and that seems to help to keep the unit at between the 66-69 but that is not satisfactory.
I too have this same unit. I purchased it approximately 4 years ago. The first unt only lasted a little over a year. I am now on my second unit and it can not seem to cool down past 70 degrees. The second unit is only a year and a half old as well.I too have this same unit. I purchased it approximately 4 years ago. The first unt only lasted a little over a year.

I also have had TWO cooling units fail on the Koolspace 500 wine cellar in 4 years. The manufacturer (vintage keeper) says they will sell me another on for $300. Fool me twice, I'm an idiot...fool me three times, I'm a huge idiot. This product is garbage...I'm getting a unit from someone else and retrofitting it...don't buy anything from these morons.

It's switches on but it's sitting at 20 degrees even if I put the thermostat down to 7 or 8. Have turned it off and left it for a while but them I put it on again just goes to a higher temp. Any suggestions?It's switches on but it's sitting at 20 degrees even if I put the thermostat down to 7 or 8.

temp too cold and door seal not effective are 2 reason for this
48 F is too cold for wines (8.8 C) and continually opening and closing of the door allows humidity into the cabinet that results in frost and ice
The 2 @ 47 degrees may be low in refrigerant gas. Refrigerators are design to operate with an exact amount of gas. When the gas charge gets slightly low the system will operate colder for a time and when the gas charge loses a couple of ounces the system stops cooling. Another cause may be the thermostat isn't operating properly and or the temperature sensing bulb may be too close to a source of heat.
It is not the compressor. This unit uses a peltier cooling system. It has no compressor. It relies on applying a voltage to two dissimilar metals connected at two junctions and when this is attached to a heat sink, allows for the cooling effect. I know this doesn't help, but I thought I should point this out.
wine coolers are usually installed in cabinets or in a bar type situation where the airflow to them becomes more critical. the cooler has two sets of coils that can collect dust and dirt. once the coils clog with dirt, the fans cannot do there jobs by passing air over the coils. This is how the heat transfer takes place. One coil absorbs the heat from the inside of the cooler and the other rejects the heat into your home or outside of the unit. They should be cleaned once a month just like your refrigerator. This will make it run more effeciently. If this is not the problem, check to see if there is a supply register from your central heating and air system close to it. you may be able to get a diverter to push the air away from the cooler
I suspect the cooler can only actually regulate one of those temperatures and the other one just drags along behind. Perhaps the weather is now warmer and the cooler has to keep the motor on longer to keep cool. The unregulated bottom temperature ends up cooler as a consequence.
Either that or the opposite effect is doing it.
The answer might be to find a 61 degree place in your house to keep the reds.
