Fan is wired separately from the cooling unit. you may have a wire corrosion issue. take put the shelves, disassemble the back of the unit from the inside and observe the wiring to see if there are broken or corroded wires/connections. R/R if necessary.

SOURCE: Power Consumption - Magic Chef Wine Cooler

The unit will draw between 6 and 12 amps on start up and running it should use less than 1.6 amps. The start up amps will increase with age. Funny how that works the same for people as it does for machines. I hope this will FixYa. Please dont forget to rate. Mike

SOURCE: Magic Chef Wine Cooler Model MCWC44DZ Where can I

On the Magic Chef site you can order parts for the cooler. I took mine out and treid to find them on the web somewhere else and could not locate them anywhere except China and England. I know this isn't true but tried every search option I could think of. They are about $22 plus shipping (HIGH).

Avanti wc1500dss wine chiller not getting cold but does the opposite gets hot

https://manualsdump.com/en/manuals/avanti-wc1500dss/66172/12
The above has a troubleshooting matrix.

Power supply: Check if the wine fridge is receiving power from the mains supply. If it's not, there might be a major issue with the mains power or the PSU circuit board in the product that'll likely need replacing if it's faulty.
Condenser fan: The condenser fan is designed to cool the condenser and condenser coil within the Avanti wine cooler. If it doesn't function, the condenser and coil can overheat - causing the internal area of the wine fridge to heat up too. Take a look at the rear of the unit and make sure the condenser fan is spinning freely and not blocked (by dust / dirt) or making excessive noise due debris or a blockage.
Thermostat: If the Avanti wine fridge thermostat is working correctly, it's responsible for making the condenser, evaporator, fan, and compressor work - so it's super important! The thermostat also allows you to control and adjust the temperature of the wine cooler so if the reading on thermostat is inaccurate (or flat out wrong) the wine cooler temperature will likely be inaccurate too.

I have a 2 door 48 bottle #272 48 03 51W and it started beeping, and also the left flashes on and off. but only on the right side. is there anyway to shut off just one side.

It sounds like you have a wine cooler with two temperature zones, and one of the zones is either over-temperature or under-temperature. The beeping and flashing light on the right side indicate an error or warning. The left side flashing on and off may mean that it is trying to regulate the temperature in that zone.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to shut off just one side of a dual zone wine cooler. The best course of action is to address the issue that is causing the beeping and flashing light. Here are a few steps you can take:
  1. Check the temperature: Make sure that the temperature in both zones is within the desired range. If the temperature is too high or too low, adjust it as needed.
  2. Clean the condenser: Make sure that the condenser is clean and free of dust and debris. A dirty condenser can cause the wine cooler to overheat and trigger an error.
  3. Check the door seal: Check the door seal on both zones to make sure it is tight and free of damage. If the door seal is damaged or not tight, it could be allowing warm air into the wine cooler and affecting the temperature.
  4. Check the fan: Check the fan to make sure it is working properly. If the fan is not working, it could be causing the wine cooler to overheat and trigger an error.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with the wine cooler's control board or thermostat. In this case, it may be best to consult with a professional for repair.
Remember, it's important to maintain a consistent temperature in your wine cooler to ensure that your wine is stored properly and protected from temperature fluctuations. text me on +233557248347

Danby DWC2121BLS dual commpartment wine cooler is cooling normally but after 2 days aprox the temperature increase and beeping and flashing hi

If evaporator starts to freeze up the ice accumulated serves as an insulator and the temps go up. If you turn it off and let ice buildup melt the unit will work fine again until it refreezes.

Check if unit has a device to prevent ice build up. If so, it is not working. If warm moist air is entering the area of evaporator coil, that could also be causing the buildup.

Temperature in both upper and lower zones will not go lower than 50F. Cooler has 3 bottles of wine. Is there away to recharge with coolant/clean fans...? Thank you

The condenser coils dissipate heat. If dust and debris accumulate around the coils, your refrigerator may not be able to cool properly, it may run continuously or it may stop completely as a result of an overheated compressor.

Before cleaning the condenser coils, unplug the refrigerator to avoid a shock hazard.

Vacuum or brush the coils. If coils have a filmy build-up, use warm soapy water to clean them. Take care not to spill or drip water onto the components of the refrigerator.
