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.
