Balay Dual-Zone Airflow or Control Imbalance

Dual-zone wine cooler shows large temperature difference between zones even when set to similar values.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty zone divider seal, Fan not circulating air between zones, Incorrect sensor readings in one zone, Control board mismanaging zone outputs

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing interior panels.

Check divider and seals: Inspect the partition between zones for gaps or damage. Ensure any adjustable vents are set correctly.
Verify fan operation: Confirm that the internal circulation fan runs and that air can move between zones as designed.
Compare sensors: Measure resistance of upper and lower zone NTCs at similar temperatures. Replace any sensor with abnormal readings.
Control board: If hardware is fine but control remains erratic, the main PCB may require replacement.
