Display shows H1 and the cabinet temperature reading is extremely high or flashing; unit may shut down cooling.
High Temperature Alarm / Over-Temperature Condition
L1
Display shows L1 or a low temperature alarm; bottles may be too cold or partially frozen.
Low Temperature Alarm / Overcooling Condition
Symptom
Compressor runs but there is a hissing or gurgling sound and cooling is very poor or absent.
Refrigerant Leak or Low Charge
Symptom
Condensation or frost forming on interior walls and around bottles.
Excessive Interior Condensation
Symptom
Condensation or water droplets forming on the inside of the glass door.
Door Condensation / High Humidity Ingress
Symptom
Digital display is blank or very dim, but the unit still cools.
Display Module or Backlight Failure
Symptom
Display works but buttons are unresponsive or only some keys work intermittently.
Keypad / Touch Control Failure
Symptom
Door does not close properly or pops open slightly after being shut.
Door Alignment / Hinge or Gasket Issue
Symptom
Dual-zone wine cooler shows large temperature difference between zones even when set to similar values.
Dual-Zone Imbalance / Airflow or Sensor Issue
Symptom
Excessive frost or ice buildup on the back wall or around the evaporator; airflow is restricted and cooling performance drops.
Frost Buildup / Defrost System Failure
Symptom
High-pitched squealing or chirping noise from inside the cabinet, especially when the door is closed.
Evaporator Fan Motor or Fan Blade Noise
Symptom
Interior light does not turn on when door is opened, but cooling works normally.
Interior LED Light Circuit Failure
Symptom
Loud humming, buzzing, or rattling noise coming from the rear of the wine cooler during operation.
Compressor or Condenser Fan Noise / Vibration
Symptom
Loud knocking, clunking, or metallic banging noise when the compressor starts or stops.
Compressor Start/Stop Noise or Loose Mounts
Symptom
Shelves are difficult to slide, or racks feel loose and may fall when pulled out.
Shelf / Rack Mechanical Issue
Symptom
Strong musty, moldy, or sour odor inside the wine cooler.
Odor / Biological Contamination
Symptom
Unit cycles on and off very frequently (short cycling), with compressor starting and stopping every few minutes.
Short Cycling / Control or Refrigeration Issue
Symptom
Unit is very warm to the touch on the sides or top, but interior is cooling normally.
Normal Condenser Heat or Cabinet Warming
Symptom
Vibration or rattling noise when the wine cooler is running; unit may move slightly on the floor.
Cabinet Vibration / Installation Issue
Symptom
Water pooling at the bottom of the cabinet or leaking onto the floor in front of the wine cooler.
Drainage / Condensate Leak
Symptom
Wine cooler is completely dead; no lights, no display, no sound.
No Power / Dead Unit
Symptom
Wine cooler not cooling at all; interior at room temperature, compressor silent, display may still be on.
No Cooling – Compressor Not Running
Symptom
Wine cooler runs but does not get cold enough; interior stays above 60°F (15°C) even after many hours.
Insufficient Cooling / Weak Refrigeration
Symptom
Wine cooler runs continuously and gets very cold; some bottles may freeze even at moderate setpoints.
Overcooling / Constant Running
