Possible Causes

Aging or drifted NTC sensor, Sensor placement not representative of average temperature, Control board calibration offset, Thermometer placement near door or vents

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing sensors or control boards.

  • Verify thermometer accuracy: Test your thermometer in ice water and room temperature to ensure it is accurate.
  • Place thermometer correctly: Position it in the center of the cabinet, away from walls and vents, and allow several hours for stabilization.
  • Compare readings: If the display is consistently off by more than a few degrees, the sensor may be drifting.
  • Replace sensor: Install a new Wine Enthusiast cabinet temperature sensor and route it to the same location as the original.
  • Control calibration: Some models allow minor calibration adjustments via service mode; consult the service manual. If not adjustable and the error persists, the control board may need replacement.
