How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Always unplug the wine cooler before removing panels or touching internal components.

Steps to address generic Er error:

  • Perform a hard reset: Unplug the unit for at least 15 minutes. Press and hold the power button (if accessible) for 10 seconds while unplugged to discharge residual power, then plug back in.
  • Check for stuck buttons: Inspect the control panel for any buttons that appear stuck or physically jammed. Gently free them if necessary.
  • Inspect wiring harnesses: Access the control panel and main control board. Verify that all harness connectors are fully seated and that no wires are pinched or damaged.
  • Look for signs of board damage: Burn marks, corrosion, or a burnt smell from the control board indicate failure.
  • Replace main control board if needed: If the Er code persists after reset and wiring checks, replace the NewAir main control board (PCB) with the correct part for your model.

Recommendation: If your unit is under warranty, contact NewAir support before replacing electronic boards to avoid voiding coverage.
