Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the Ivation wine cooler. Compressor work involves mains voltage; if unsure, call a technician.
Steps:
- Verify voltage: Ensure the outlet provides stable voltage within the specified range (typically 110–120V AC).
- Inspect start relay and overload: Remove the rear panel and check the components attached to the compressor terminals. Replace any that are burnt or rattling with a Ivation compressor start relay and overload.
- Test again: After replacement, plug in and observe. If the compressor still clicks and fails to start, the compressor itself may be locked and require professional replacement.
