Temperature dependant upon ambient room temperature My wife and I received this item as a wedding gift and, although we are generally satisfied with some aspects of the cooler (appearance, capacity and size, and convenience) the unit itself does not maintain a stable temperature on its own (a “must have” for delicate wines and the reason we wanted a wine fridge in the first place). The unit, as I was told by a representative at the fridge’s manufacturer, is an ambient room temperature-dependant machine and is only capable of cooling…
If your buttons don’t work, try this little trick first! Purchased this unit to replace my aging Haier on which I’d replaced the thermoelectric module in several times. Avanti makes very good products, nonetheless – when I plugged it in, I was unable to change any of the parameters (temp, wine type) on the display. No problem, a quick fix for anyone that this happens to: the top hinge has a black plastic cover. Take it off and you’ll see 4 wires feeding into a black connector. Unplug the connector – doing so with the power on is OK because of the…
Broke down after two years, but is relatively inexpensive and easy to fix I purchased this wine cooler in 2012. After about two years, the fan attached to the heatsink in the back started whining on-and-off and ultimately failed. As this happened, the wine cooler could only achieve/maintain about 10 degrees Fahrenheit below room temperature, in contrast to the 17-18 degrees Fahrenheit below room temperature it could achieve when new.
