does anyone know how to "recharge" it for it to cool, I got one at an estate sale and it doesn't seem to be cooling at all.

1 if the fan works , needs new cooler unit. If fan doesn't work and cooler fins are chill, needs fan. If it doesn't get cool or hot might just be the switch. Good Luck

Try it in your auto, if it cools then itis the transformer, if neither cool problem is probably with the cooler. I've replaced the first cooler and on my second I did above and had to replace the transformer. Now all is working.

check to make sure plug is blue to blue if it is it takes a while to cool . I got to both still work after years of servise

Make sure the blue plugs are together for cooling. Otherwise you might have to send in for a new plug

Try throwing it in the freezer overnight. Then thy re charging. If it still holds no charge. I would return it seller. It probably is defective cell/battery.

I would contact Heidi, the owner, about that. It does not sound like it is functioning properly. Is it fully heated up before you use it?

Sounds like it's a dud. I have a lot of these and, fortunately, have never had a problem. I'd contact the seller and ask them to send a replacement. Good luck.

In my opinion, the product that you have is defective and should be returned for replacement. Mine does not do this, but I have had the same thing happen with another brand that I used in the past. Or, is it possible that the hot air brush is too hot and needs to cool down before it restarts!! Hope this helps!!

Mine seemed to take a few hours to really start to cool everything down, but it works perfectly now. Make sure it has the proper exhaust ventilation.

Probably a defective unit. Not holding heat--or not getting hot enough. Ask for a replacement. A reputable company will gladly exchange if within the warranty period

I no longer have this model, but I believe you flip over the plug that attaches to the unit itself... there should be a red arrow for warming and a blue one for cooling.

I would definitely say that the unit or the battery you are trying to charge is defective. Mine gets warm, but not even close to frighteningly hot!

Add me to the list - not sure when it started, a few weeks ago we noticed it b/c we charged it and then it was dead. Figured it got bumped in wife's purse or hadn't charged long enough but now I've been trying to charge it and see the on/off cycling going on. No answer, just sympathy and hope for a fix!

Just clean it with water. I fill up the water every couple hours. So It can get cooler.

Hey there, I left mine plugged in this winter and it completely drained it and it wouldn't hold a charge. The note on the charger clearly says not to keep it plugged in at cold temperatures. So totally my fault. I went to Batteries Express and had it replaced(well there are actually two inside of it), just shy of 120 bucks, but cheaper than buying a whole new unit.

If you are in a seaside environment, there may be some contact corrosion.Take a close look at the contacts.Also, vendor says to discharge battery on first use, then allow to recharge.Try letting it run down all the way, then recharge (without using the laptop).Shots in the dark, but who knows?

I had trouble with mine not charging as well. Contact the seller and exchange it.

Make sure that the fan is not block. It does take a while to cool thing. Do you have the Powerchill model or the other one. We returned the other model because it never got my husband's sodas cool enough.

I agree with the other answer here, try using it plugged in. we've had ours for a couple years and its fine. you may want to talk to manufacturer see if they can do anything for you

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessaryto discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted aboutthree days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibilitywould be an incorrect battery?Best regards,Sammy
