    Need your model number and tell me if you have checked breaker and power supply to your cooler. Some coolers also defrost with timer units place near compressor. Is your model 3 phase or single phase?

    Thx John I actually had a Company come out and check it out. They found the compressor not working at all. The one thing he did check was the power supply. Ended up having to replace it.

I would have tried to get you going as fast as possible, but when you have a business things are different. If you have any commercial equipment it is always good to have a source for answers. Model Numbers and Brand Names listed someplace where you know just what you have and know who to call without having to get into an expensive repair trap. I'm not saying that those that came out overcharged you but it does happen a good bit of the time. If I can help feel free to ask here or through my websites, Thanks, John Tripp/AKA Sea Breeze

Wine cooler just stopped working. light will come

Try disconnecting all power to the unit for about 10 mins, and turn it back on to see if the compressor will kick in. Also check your temp settings and make sure they are properly set. If that doesnt work, you might have a dead compressor which a tech can look at and verify.

Wanting to know if I can plug this into a 110 outlet? What is the Voltage and Watts?

Look at the compressor. On it you will see a voltage rating, this is usually on a sticker or metal plate on compressor. Whatever the compressor is rated at is what you need as a power source.

Cooling does not work either

Get in there with a vacuum and clean up the condenser coils then check the compressor relay. If all those are fine bypass the cold control just long enough to see if the water cooler works. Do not leave it bypassed or damage to the reservoir could occur.

How can I tell if my fridge isn't working?

Unplug the Ref for 15-20 min. take off the cover so you can see the compressor, then plug it back in and listen for the compressor to start. You should be behind the Ref so you can tell the difference between the fan running or the compressor.

The compressor should start and keep running.

The fan cooling the compressor should be running.

The fan in the freezer should be running.

You should feel cold air coming into the Fridge side from the freezer side.

Fridge door left open all day.. now its not coming on?

The compressor overheated. Unplug the Ref for 20-30 min. to let the compressor cool. Remover the back cover so you can see the compressor, this will help it cool off. A window fan set to blow on the compressor will help.

When the compressor is cool enough to touch plug it back in. It may start and run just fine or if it just clicks and does not run, replace the compressor relay.
