Marvel 6SBARE61 undercounter beverage/wine cooler w/glass door, installer 5days ago.
(1) Noisey, loud shrill, like a continues bird chripping or high pitch electrial sound.Very annoying.
(2) The temperature set point is 40 degrees, drops to 39, the warms up to 45 then runs every 20 minutes. Then cools down to 40.
(3) One shelf comes off track in the back. please so advice.
(4) This unit puts out a LOT of heat, there are no obstrucions to the front.
repairmen said that the digital temperature readings are not accurate and should be expected. And that older units with a dial numbers system was better for the lay person/consumer.
Am I expecting to much from this unit?
If you just got the unit you should contact your dealer for warranty service. The only noise you should hear is a slight hum of the compressor and the soft blowing noise of the condenser fan. It sounds as if the evaporator fan on this unit is toast. That is also why is it having a hard time maintaining temperature. The temperature indicated is actual air temperature sensed so it will go up and down a couple of degrees above and below setpoint but when operating correctly the product temperature will be very stable.
If the servicer does not fully understand the new digital system, make sure he/she contacts the factory technical assistance rep. at 800-428-6644.

I believe the 6SBAR has an evaporator fan located behind the evaporator plate ( the cooling plate) inside the unit. They had some issues with the bearings in those fans failing and will sound like a small jet engine sometimes (high pitched whine). When you hear the noise, open the door and if the noise level changes (either gets louder or goes away) then it is the evaporator fan. If your noise is coming from the compressor area and does not change when you open the door, it is most likely the condenser fan blade is loose. The evaporator fan looks like a small computer cooling fan and is located near the bottom center of the evaporator plate (out of site). The factory sells a replacement kit with a much better fan and new power supply. You can reach them at 800-223-3900. Good-luck.
The 3BAR cooler has a 10-inch light bar that has multiple indicasent elements and is plugged in to the ceiling receptacle via a three pin plug. If you have a resistance/continuity tester you can unplug the light and check it for continuity across the two outer pins. (the center is ground). You can can also loosen the two screws that it the assemlby to the ceiling, remove the assembly and carefully test it with power. Most likely, it has burnt out. If the light checks good, then power must not be reaching the recepticle. Power is routed to the recepticle directly from the power cord via the door switch (when open) or from the ON/OFF rocker switch in the toe-kick. I hope this helps.
I experienced same problem with my refrigerator, Marvel ar61. Call Marvel and they will send you a repair kit which includes a new thermostat, switching relay and a new thermistor. My refrigerator is working great.
marvel 6sbar-BD with wine storeage racks on the bottom and two glass shelves above. If I put sodas on the top shelf they expode. I have it on the lowest setting. Please advise.
Check the door seals to make sure they are sealing good this can cause high humidity. The unit also seems to be getting to cold check with another thermometer
It sounds like the bulb is not getting power. There is a door switch that turns it off when the door closes...this may be stuck. There is usually an optional (depending on age) ON/OFF switch that overrides the light to be on full time. If the light will also not turn on with that switch then there must be a disconnected or broken wire either going to the light switches or going to the light socket from the switches. I hope this helps.
sorry for the delay in response time you definatly have a bad thermistor, not able to stabilze temp so it contionues run never shutting doen freezing everything, who ever repairs it (if they haven already,)make sure they put all 3 new peices in, thermistor, potentiometer, and contol box. all 3 come in one kit, 20 min to install
