Gorenje Short Cycling

Wine cooler cycles on and off very frequently, with short run times.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Temperature differential set too narrow, Sensor located too close to cold air outlet, Oversized unit for small space, Control board hysteresis issue

Safety: Unplug before moving sensors or panels.

Adjust setpoint: Increase the temperature setpoint slightly to reduce cycling frequency.
Check sensor placement: Ensure the cabinet sensor is not directly in the cold air stream; reposition slightly if possible.
Improve airflow: Avoid blocking vents with bottles or shelves.
PCB replacement: If cycling remains abnormally short and causes temperature swings, the control algorithm on the PCB may be faulty; replacing the board can resolve this.
