Strong chemical or burning smell coming from the back of the wine cooler

Safety: Immediately unplug the unit if you smell burning or see smoke. Do not continue to operate the cooler.

Steps:

• Inspect rear compartment: After the unit cools, remove the rear panel and look for scorched components, melted plastic, or discolored wiring.
• Identify source: Common sources are the main control board, compressor start relay, or wiring harness connectors.
• Replace damaged parts: Replace any visibly burned components with the correct Simzlife parts. If multiple components are affected, replacing the entire wiring harness and control board may be necessary.
• Do not bypass safety devices: Never bypass thermal protectors or fuses to keep the unit running.
• Professional evaluation: If you are unsure of the damage extent, have a qualified technician inspect the unit before reuse.
