Possible Causes

Failed compressor, Failed compressor start relay/PTC, Open thermal overload on compressor, Severe refrigerant leak in sealed system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the Pevino wine cooler before removing rear panels.

  • Listen for compressor: With the unit plugged in (briefly), check if the compressor hums or clicks repeatedly. Then unplug again.
  • Inspect start components: Remove the rear lower panel and check the compressor start relay/PTC and overload for burn marks or loose connections. Replace if suspect.
  • Check condenser fan: Ensure the condenser fan runs when the compressor should be on. A non-running fan can cause overheating and compressor shutdown.
  • Look for refrigerant leak signs: Oil stains around tubing or the evaporator area can indicate a leak.
  • Professional diagnosis: If the compressor does not run with a known good start device, or if a sealed system leak is suspected, contact a licensed refrigeration technician. Compressor or sealed system repairs are not DIY-friendly.
