Wine cooler displays EC25 and may not maintain proper condenser temperature; unit may shut down or run continuously.

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker or unplug the unit. The condenser area may have hot surfaces and sharp edges.

Step 1 – Clean condenser

• Pull the unit out carefully if it is built-in, ensuring you do not kink the water line (if present) or power cord.
• Remove the lower front or rear grille to access the condenser coil.
• Use a soft brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint from the condenser fins.
• Restore power and see if EC25 clears after several minutes of operation.

Step 2 – Locate condenser sensor

• With power OFF again, locate the small sensor clipped to or near the condenser coil or tubing.
• Inspect the sensor body and wiring for damage, overheating, or dislodgement.

Step 3 – Reseat or replace sensor

• Ensure the sensor is firmly attached to the condenser surface as originally designed.
• Reseat the connector at the sensor and at the control board end if accessible.
• If the sensor is cracked, melted, or wiring is brittle, replace the condenser thermistor with the correct Sub‑Zero part.

Step 4 – Control board evaluation

• If a known-good sensor does not clear EC25, the main control board may be misreading the sensor.
• Professional diagnosis is recommended before replacing the board.
