Wine cooler thermostat fault
The thermostat is not controlling temperature correctly.
Symptoms
The unit does not maintain the set temperature, overcools, undercools, or the compressor does not cycle as expected.
Likely causes
Failed mechanical or electronic thermostat, calibration drift, or a thermostat control fault on the PCB.
What you can safely check
Confirm the set point is correct. Note whether the compressor cycles at all. Do not adjust the thermostat repeatedly.
When to call a professional
If the set point is correct but temperature control is poor, the thermostat or its control circuit has failed. Book a specialist.
Our repair process
We test the thermostat's switching and calibration, identify whether the fault is the thermostat, sensor or control board, repair or replace the failed component, and recalibrate for accurate, stable control.
Parts that may be involved
Thermostat, temperature sensor, control board.
Safety note
Refrigeration systems contain pressurised gas and live electrical components. Do not attempt to open the sealed system, handle refrigerant, or bypass safety controls. For any fault beyond the safe checks above, book a specialist technician.
