Possible Causes

Tripped circuit breaker, Faulty wall outlet, Damaged power cord, Failed main control board fuse or power supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not attempt to bypass fuses or use damaged cords.

  • Check household supply: Test the outlet with another appliance or a tester. Reset any tripped breakers or replace blown fuses.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. If damaged, the cord must be replaced by a qualified technician.
  • Try another outlet: Plug the wine cooler into a different, known-good outlet (without extension cords) to rule out supply issues.
  • Access control board (advanced): If comfortable and safe, remove the rear/top panel and check for an onboard fuse. Replace only with the same rating if blown and if no obvious short is present.
  • If still dead: The main control board or internal wiring may have failed. Professional diagnosis is recommended.
