Improper Cycling / Control Issue
Unit cycles on and off very frequently (short cycling)
Advertisements
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.
