How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect from mains before removing the control panel.

Intermittent controls on a De Dietrich wine cooler are usually due to connection or keypad issues.

  • Clean the fascia: Wipe the control area with a slightly damp cloth to remove grease or residue. Do not allow liquid to enter the panel.
  • Check cable connections: Access the back of the control panel and reseat the ribbon cable and connectors to the main board.
  • Inspect for corrosion: Look for green or white deposits on connectors; clean gently with contact cleaner if present.
  • Replace keypad/UI: If problems persist, replace the user interface assembly with a genuine De Dietrich part.
