How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety Warning: Work with mains voltage only if you are trained. Otherwise, limit checks to external items and call a technician.
Steps:
- Check outlet: Plug another appliance or a voltage tester into the same outlet to confirm stable power.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet.
- Avoid extension cords: Plug the wine cooler directly into a properly grounded outlet.
- Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes, then plug back in. If F2 returns immediately, internal electronics may be damaged.
- Internal inspection (advanced): With power disconnected, remove the rear access panel and inspect the main control board for burnt components near the power input.
- Replace main control board: If visible damage is present or F2 persists, install a new Whirlpool-compatible control board.
