Possible Causes

Temperature sensor located too close to evaporator, Oversensitive control algorithm, Poor door seal causing rapid temperature swings, Oversized compressor for cabinet volume

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before moving sensors.

  • Check door seal: Ensure the door gasket seals properly and the door is not being opened frequently.
  • Sensor placement: Verify the cabinet sensor is in its correct holder and not touching the evaporator or a cold wall directly.
  • Ambient stability: Avoid placing the wine cooler in areas with large temperature swings (near exterior doors or HVAC vents).
  • Control board update: If cycling remains excessive and all else is normal, a technician may recommend replacing or updating the main control board to a revised version.
