Display shows LO and the cooler does not reach the desired temperature or cannot be set lower.
Low Temperature Limit or Sensor Calibration Issue
—
Display is completely blank, no lights or response from buttons, unit does not run.
No Power / Dead Appliance
Symptom
Clicking sound every few minutes, compressor attempts to start but immediately stops.
Failed Compressor Start Components
Symptom
Condensation or water droplets forming on the inside of the glass door.
Excessive Humidity or Poor Door Seal
Symptom
Condensation or water droplets forming on the outside of the glass door.
External Condensation Due to Ambient Conditions
Symptom
Control buttons on the front panel do not respond or respond intermittently.
User Interface Keypad Failure
Symptom
Display shows random characters, flickers, or is very dim, but the cooler still runs.
Display Module or Power Supply Fault
Symptom
Door does not close properly or pops open slightly after being shut.
Door Alignment or Gasket Deformation
Symptom
Dual-zone Brandt wine cooler: one zone cools properly while the other is warm.
Single Zone Cooling Failure in Dual-Zone System
Symptom
Dual-zone Brandt wine cooler: temperatures of both zones are the same and cannot be controlled independently.
Dual-Zone Control or Damper Failure
Symptom
Excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator and rear interior wall.
Defrost System Failure or Air Infiltration
Symptom
High-pitched squealing or whirring noise from inside the cabinet.
Evaporator Fan Bearing Wear
Symptom
Interior light does not turn on when the door is opened, but the cooler otherwise works normally.
Interior Light Circuit Failure
Symptom
Interior light stays on even when the door is closed, causing temperature to rise.
Door Switch Stuck or Misaligned
Symptom
Loud humming or buzzing noise from the rear of the wine cooler during operation.
Compressor or Condenser Vibration Noise
Symptom
Musty or moldy odor inside the wine cooler.
Microbial Growth on Interior Surfaces
Symptom
Rattling or clanking noise when the compressor starts or stops.
Loose Components or Internal Compressor Noise
Symptom
Shelves are difficult to slide in and out or feel unstable.
Shelf Rail or Support Deformation
Symptom
Strong chemical or burning smell coming from the rear of the wine cooler.
Overheating Electrical Component
Symptom
Unit is unusually hot to the touch on the sides or top.
High Cabinet Surface Temperature
Symptom
Unit trips the household circuit breaker or blows fuses when it starts.
Electrical Short or Overcurrent
Symptom
Unit vibrates excessively and may move slightly on the floor during operation.
Cabinet Vibration / Leveling Issue
Symptom
Water pooling at the bottom of the cabinet or leaking onto the floor in front of the wine cooler.
Drainage System Blockage or Condensation Leak
Symptom
Wine cooler does not cool at all; interior remains at room temperature despite display and lights working.
Sealed System or Compressor Failure
Symptom
Wine cooler runs continuously and overcools; bottles are too cold or partially frozen.
Thermostat / Temperature Control Failure
Symptom
Wine cooler runs continuously but never reaches the set temperature; interior is cool but not cold enough.
Insufficient Cooling Capacity
Symptom
Wine cooler short cycles: compressor starts and stops frequently within a few minutes.
