I have a winecooler that I bought at costco about 2 years ago. When I got it it really didnt cool. So I let it sit figuring I would get around to fixing it or having one of their tech's come out and fix my problem. Then I tried switching outlets after it sitting for a couple of months. It Worked!! I had my floors cleaned about 6 months later and had to unplug it to move it. When I went to plug it back in it reverted back to the same problem. Running but not cooling. It sounds like a fan is on but I'm not hearing the ticking, tinking I did when it was cooling. I was frustrated and tried another outlet and it still didn't work. I called vinotemp and of course the 1 year warranty had expired the month before I called even though I only had it on for about 6 months. Ive let it sit for almost a year. Ive just tried to use it again and again it runs but won't cool. Do I not have enough electricity to run it? Not enough Amps or something? Or is their no more freon? Or compressor busted? I'm at a loss. Thought I would check online before I had a repair man come in. If I have to go with a repair man how much would it be to replace a compressor in this small unit, if that's the problem?
thanks

It sounds like your control module is bad. Vinotemp does list the replacement part as available at a cost of around $35
SOURCE: Vinotemp 24 - keep hearing ticking sound
Call Vintemp, Your Breeze Aire needs service, they will refurb it(prob. has lost it's refergerant charge). I had mine done about 5 years ago about $150.00 then.

You may need to change the cooling system on the unit if the unit is free of dust and still does not cool.

I had the same problem it was my compressor and it could not be fixed without replacing the whole thing. Costco did return the money.
I have the same problem, display always stays at 76 deg. I traced the schematic and Fan on, display works, fuse ok in interconnect board and the compressor has the 120 volts required. However, it appears that the compressor kicks on, draws the current down to 116 Volts and then shuts off. Looks like the compressor is bad. Replacing it is not possible without someone who can install freon R134A back into the system. I am taking mine to a repair place and of course have to pay the $35.00 fee for them to inspect it again and give me a quote on what it will cost to replace the compressor. I looked for the compressor unit online and can't find that specific LG model, go figure. Will let you know sometime next week what it runs to get them fixed.
