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.
at sears .com the schematic lists a "protector" part 265RFBYY
is this the overload?
also somewhere else I saw the temp stat was a problem, how would I rule this out? (Its expensive)
You may have a Freon leak at the compressor. Running this unit at low pressure will only make it leak that much more. Have a technician check it and refill is there is a fill port available.
HI sally.well wine coolers r not rocket science.your local engineer should be able to at least diagnose the problem...lets c if u can do it ok?(still getting power )u mean light comes on or u mean it runs but dont get cold?well haier is not the best but if it's done 7 years is not bad:).ok...1-check if it makes any noise or is completely quiet.if no sound feel the motor (compressor).hot or cold.if cold it could be the thermostat or motor.if hot running or not it could be refrigerant or motor.needs visual.hope this helps.ALI
You need to replace the Ptc unit attached to the compressor. Go to REPAIR CLINIC.COM and order the following part. 1206838
Ptc relay. They also will show you were it is located and how to replace it. Compressor tanks very rarely go bad. It is an $11.00 dollar part
First make sure your condenser is clean and the fan is going. If everything is running and still doesnt cool enough then you need a repair person to check the sealed system.
