Common problems
Wine cooler does not work
Check if it is plugged in, or if the circuit breaker/fuse has tripped.
Not cooling sufficiently
Check thermostat setting, ensure the door is closed properly, check the door seal, or ensure there is enough space around the unit for ventilation.
Compressor starts and stops frequently
Check if ambient temperature is high, if too many warm bottles were added, or if the door is opened too frequently.
Noisy operation
Ensure the unit is stable and level. Some noise from refrigerant circulation is normal.

- Verify all components (4 shelves, 1 bottle rack) are present.
