I have an everstar hdwc35, 28 bottle wine cellar. The display shows that the compressor and fan aren't running but the unit never shuts off. It is cold inside but when I change the temp setting to a higher number to get the unit to shut it just keeps running. Is this a thermostate problem? or does the digital circuit board need to be replaced?

    I purchased a new thermostat sensor and installed it but the problem continues. The unit still doesn't shut off.

It is a faulty thermostat not the control board An open thermostat defaults to a high value, so it does not shut off. If it was a bad compressor, or low in freon, it would not "get ice cold". If it is low on freon, the low pressure switch would not let it start up.

The defrost timer either runs normally (cycles on and off cold) or is in defrost mode (heater elements turn on to temporarily heat the freezer in order to remove frost). Anyway, It is not the defrost timer if it "gets icy cold".

Not colling

Check the back to see if the compressor is running or just really hot. If it is not running it could be a thermostat issue, but if it is hot and not running, that means your compressor has problems and will need to be replaced.

Aficionado hvt18dfbb is running but NO TEMP CHANGE

There is no compressor on these units. These units use a Peltier cold/hot module where the cold side faces the heat sink and the fan exhausts the heat side. Another fan sends the cool side into the frig. I have the same unit, I am experiencing the same issue. I was looking to change out the Peltier modules (about $7 each) and try that. I did find a replacement Control Board is about $45 and if the Peltier change doesn't work this may be my next step.

Wine cooler does not get cool - fans do not run the light and temperature display do work

if you hear the compressor tun on but not the fan, replace the fan and you may have to defrost the evaporator coils. if the compressor does not turn on either, it's the thermostat, the defrost timer, or a relay on the main board.

Hi, could be faulty thermostat, can you check compressor, is compressor running (working), listen to compressor for clicking sound, unplug it(switched off) for about 20 minutes, replug and let it run (work) for another 20 mins. see if temp. drops, what about temp. inside bottle (wine) cooler, is it 98 or colder, more info. could be valuable. check thermostat, check to see if compressor operates, if cooler temp. 98. remove you products, to another cooler, call mechanic.

Kitchenaid Wine Cellar-model # KUWS2246EBLO Power on switch does not turn on cooling compressor. Lite will come on.

Try tapping on the thermostat it is probably sticking.
If it comes on then you will need to replace the thermostat.
Check the start relay on the compressor.
Check the fan motor on the compressor is it running?
Clean lint from underneath on the condensing coil.

Will not cool

HI,

if the compressor is running your ref. should be getting cold. Their is a defrost timer but when it is in defrost the compressor shuts off. I think you do have a leak.

any further question let me know.

thanks,

Fan doesn't work on oster wine cellar

First question, do you have power to the unit and the cooling fan is not working? If this is the problem then sounds like one of the two fuses in back panel has burnt out.
