Cooling Problem

The beauty of a Sub-Zero wine cooler is that it keeps your beverages at the perfect temperature. So whether you’re storing a crisp rose, a delectable sauvignon blanc, or a fruity cabernet, your unit will keep your wine and any of your other favorite beverages will be stored perfectly!

However, if your wine cooler isn’t cooling properly, you’ve got several troubleshooting options.

The Door Isn’t Closing Properly

With that being said, we don’t recommend using your oven’s self-cleaning featured right before having people over for a big holiday feast.

While this is a great, highly convenient feature that makes oven maintenance a breeze, it does tend to produce a bit of an odour while it’s doing its job, so I’d recommend running your self-clean cycle a few days before your expecting any company.

Plus, if you end up using it and making a mess in it while your cooking for and entertaining your guests, you’re likely going to be running a cleaning cycle after everyone has left. In other words, it might be best to wait until after the holidays to run a self-clean cycle.

Broken Thermostat

A sub-zero wine cooler uses a thermostat to regulate temperature. If the wine cooler is too hot, the thermostat will trigger the cooling process. However, a broken or faulty thermostat will not trigger this process, which means the wine cooler will not reach the ideal temperature that you set. Replacing a broken thermostat is tricky. And, you don’t want to risk further damaging the appliance.Therefore, it’s best to call in a professional to help you find a quality replacement part and guide you through the installation process.

Condenser Coils Are Dirty

Condenser coils also help to keep the temperature in your sub-zero wine cooler just right.However, if the condenser coils are dirty, or gummed up with dirt and debris, it will stop the cooler from properly releasing its heat. You can troubleshoot this issue by checking your wine cooler’s condenser coil for dust, dirt, and other debris, and then cleaning them if needed.  For this, simply use a vacuum to remove and dust, and then give the coils a quick wipe down with warm soapy water.

Wine Cooler Is Very Noisy

Is your wine cooler very noisy? If so, you’ll want to first make sure you’ve cleaned the condenser coils and then check the unit’s fan motor.

Malfunctioning Fan Motor

The fan motor circulates air inside your unit, which helps to keep your beverages cold. Fortunately, a malfunctioning fan motor sounds awful, and should be quite easy to notice. If your sub-zero wine cooler makes a lot of noise, then the fan motor is a likely culprit.If this is the case, we advise you to contact an appliance repair specialist, who will be experienced with repairing this issue, and can have your wine cooler working, quietly, in no time at all.

Temperature Issue

Some sub-zero wine coolers suffer from temperature issues, whether that be too warm or too cold. To troubleshoot your issue, start by checking the temperature control thermostat and start relay.

Temperature Control Thermostat

The control thermostat on a Sub-Zero wine cooler gives you the ability to set and adjust the temperature as needed. If the thermostat is broken, your wine cooler will not reach ideal temperatures, which, unfortunately, can ruin or change the flavour of your beverages.It isn’t easy to troubleshoot the temperature control thermostat on your own. There’s a lot of electrical components involved. Therefore, a sub-zero wine cooler specialist is your best bet to solve any control thermostat issues.

Broken Start Relay

The start relay is crucial because it’s what activates your sub-zero wine cooler’s compressor. If the start relay is broken, the compressor won’t start, and your cooler won’t keep your beverages at the right temperature.While you can troubleshoot the start relay, replacing this piece is difficult if you don’t have experience. Therefore, calling in an experienced appliance maintenance and repair professional is your best option.
