Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation around cabinet, Severely dirty condenser coil, Failed condenser fan, Ambient temperature above design limits

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before touching the compressor or condenser.

  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the Artevino wine cabinet has the recommended clearance on all sides and that built-in installations follow the manufacturer's airflow requirements.
  • Clean condenser: Remove dust and lint from the condenser coil using a soft brush and vacuum. This is critical for proper heat rejection.
  • Verify condenser fan operation: With power restored, confirm that the fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it does not start.
  • Check ambient conditions: Move the cabinet away from direct sunlight, ovens, or radiators. Artevino units are designed for specific ambient temperature ranges; operating outside these can trigger overheat protection.
  • Reset: After correcting issues, unplug for 10 minutes to reset the protection circuit, then monitor operation.
