Possible Causes

Failed condenser fan motor, obstructed fan blade, loose fan wiring connector, defective control board fan output

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the wine cooler before accessing the rear compartment.

  • Access fan: Remove the rear lower panel to expose the condenser fan near the compressor and condenser coil.
  • Check for obstructions: Remove dust, debris, or packaging material blocking the fan blade. Ensure the blade spins freely by hand.
  • Inspect wiring: Confirm the fan motor connector is secure and wires are not damaged.
  • Test fan motor: With the unit unplugged, measure motor resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed motor. Replace the condenser fan motor if defective.
  • Control board: If the fan motor is good but never receives power when the compressor runs, replace the main control board.
