How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the wine cooler before touching the compressor or electrical components. The compressor can be very hot.
Steps:
- Check power supply: Ensure the outlet provides stable voltage and is not shared with heavy appliances.
- Inspect start device: Remove the rear panel and carefully detach the start relay/overload from the compressor. Look for burn marks or a burnt smell.
- Test and replace: Use a multimeter to test the start device according to Bosch specifications. Replace it if defective.
- Professional diagnosis: If a new start device does not resolve the issue, the compressor itself may be failing and requires professional replacement.
