Is it still working? has anyone had any problems with this model. At least one did. Anyone have to have servicing on it. Temp. fluctuations?

I have had mine for 2 years now and have not had any problems. The temps are constant and no service work has been needed.
1878735
no problems it stays at about 55 which is what I have it set to I have the air on most of the time so the fluctuation would only occur if I did not have the air on in hot weather I am really pleased with this product

Yes, I had mine for 2 weeks and it has the exact same problem. The seller is AKDY. There website has a service number to call. They are sending a new circuit board and emailed the video on how to install it.

Ours is still working and is fine for us. It seems to read higher than the temperature inside, but it works for us. It allows us to safely store wine when it is hot. Knock on wood, no servicing yet. Have been pleased with it overall.

The cooler has fans inside the unit. This is why the temp read-out will show a slight fluctuation in temperature for a few seconds (the fans intermittently will engage and create a breeze and shut off after brief moment) . The wine cooler has performed well for me during the past 6 months. Nothing is perfect. -- For the money ... this is a good purchase :-).

I bought two at the same time and they're both still running fine. The fans run almost constantly but they are quiet and and the noise level is not an issue. As another reviewer stated, the temperature display changes all the time but I put digital thermometers inside the units and the actual temp does not vary by more than 2 degrees. For the money, they're pretty tough to beat.

I returned mine after two weeks because it didn't work properly from the get go. It didn't hold a steady temperature and the cooler's thermostat/thermometer was way off correct readings.

wehave had our unit for about 1 month. If you look at the digital temp readout it changes constantly (although not more than +/- 2-3 degrees), but no evidence that the temp really is changing. Wine bottles seem to stay same coolness. Motor on unit is relatively quiet, but does seem to run all the time (c/t our much higher priced EuroCave unit), but it may just seem that way because you never hear the motor running on the Euro Cave.

Ours has been fine. No problems. Minor fluctuations in temp because we keep our home cool in the winter so we would just turn it off if the temp got too low.

We have used ours for 2 years now. So far no problem w/ the heater. We did have a problem where something got stuck and melted much of the unit. I contacted the manufacturer and they were very good about repairing my unit. I have actually had a couple of problems, the other was some board went out. Again, they were very good about replacing the board. I have not had a problem in a while, so I don't know if they would still be so good, but we do LOVE our machine!

So far I haven't needed any maintenance. If I did, I'd probably use WD40 or some such. I've been using this machine for over a year and it's remained quiet and problem free. We love it.

It sounds as though the thermostat is not functioning correctly. I would call the vendor from whom you bought the machine...or the nearest dealer.

Hi - Like you, I really like this unit. My I suggest contacting the mfg. If anyone can help it should be them. Best of luck!

Yes, I have had no problems with it. It's a great unit and there is no maintenance involved.

Not yet, but mine is relatively new. I have noticed that the vibration of the machine will slowly change the temp setting though. I am going to try and put it on a towel next time to see if that helps.

I have not had any problems with this unit. In fact I have been very happy with how the unit has performed.

to be honest, I would stay clear of this model. The leak's and temperature control are not worth the hassle. I recently sold my for $25 just to get rid of it.

According to other posters you will have needed to seat the rear temperature-control unit correctly; the unit won't turn on if it's been mis-seated.Of course I've just ordered this myself, so we'll see if that's accurate. :P---SIX MONTHS LATERIt does appear as if the heating unit can be flakey when seated. I had an issue where it was "unseating" itself when the unit reached high temperature.However, upon a thorough cleaning the issue went away. YMMV.

Mine has been working great without any issues. Money well spent in my book.

I have not had any problems yet. But I think the unit is not starting as fast as it did at first. But it is still heating as it should.

I am sorry that you're having such issues. Ours has worked find since we started using it last October, and we use it daily, sometimes more than once. I would definitely call their customer service.

I have not had a problem with mine but definitely call the company and explain to them what has happened. Be firm but not rude in letting them know that you are not satisfied with the performance of the heater. I am sure they will do something to rectify the problem. Good luck.

Good morning, I have had mine for only a year and it has not had any problems. However, I had a couple of thoughts that might (or might not!) help. Have you tried a different plug in? There is a safety limit switch that will turn off the machine if it overheats that may have failed. Finally, the heating element may have failed. If you have not done so you may want to contact the people that built it - they are here in the USA so they should be available to help. Good luck, I would really miss mine! Dave

Mine is working fine. I only intermittently use the high heat setting since it gets so hot, I have to switch to a lower setting, or cool occasionally. But, so far, so good! No complaints here.
