Unplug it for a few minutes and then plug it back in.

Also, they can often have trouble cooling it more than 10 degrees cooler than the ambient, and sometimes even only 5 degrees can be a problem.

The service manual is here

From here there is this on ambient temp:

Ambient Temperature: The cooling system of your wine cabinet has the ability to cool a maximum of 25 degrees below the ambient temperature in the room. Therefore, you want to place the unit in a room which will not exceed 78 degrees. Otherwise, the unit will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55 degrees. On the other hand, you want to make sure the temperature in the room does not fall much below 55 degrees. The unit only has the capacity to cool the wine inside and cannot exceed the ambient temperature of the room. In addition, the unit is designed only to cool to a minimum temperature of 50 degrees.

Thanks for posting these links, Mark!

Mine is working ok right now (knock on wood), but it will be handy to have these for future reference.

Ya know, I don't think these things are the highest quality in the world, but at least they appear to be fixable at a low cost.

Since I've gone thru three in the past two years, I consider them throw away items. I use small ones so they're not that expensive. The Haier I now use is at least servicable, and has performed well for a little over one year. Knock on wood. The only problem I have is what to do with the old ones. In this day of sorting and recycling, they're easier to purchase than to junk.

50.00 to buy and 20.00 to dispose. This is our local refuse service at work.

Where and what are you buying for $50?

[larryinlc]

Like I said, I use a small 6 bottle cooler purchased from pro vantage last year. They've raised the price now but last year, it was 50 plus. A nice little cooler that holds enough for me.
