CaptainQuintero Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Hey, so my new unit is cooling far too much. The room temp is about 23 c and I have the cabinet set to 18 c. The thin as soon as I turn it on starts chunging away until the unit gets to about 4 c and is covered in frost. Now I have read in the very limited trouble shooting online that winecoolers, if the temp is set too high, will cool excessively. I didn;t think 18 would be excessively too high... what sort of temp is acceptable and would not cause this igloo effect? Thanks
Murri Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Don't know what type you have, thermoelectric or compressor. Mine is a thermoelectric and is set at 18 and holds steady. Sounds like your control unit is defective. If it's new I would contact the supplier/manufacturer and inquire about a replacement. Murri
CaptainQuintero Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 Sorry yeah thermoelectric. I turned it on last night with the room being around 24 c, the cabinet within 5 minutes went from 29 to 35c while my 3 digi monitors inside said it was actually 4c lol think that someone it's broken itself within a day of purchase...
maximus Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 sounds like the thermostat is faulty(ie.sticking on and keeping it running)just my opinion as a fridge tech
CM125 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I was looking at customer reviews of new air 28 wine cooler and a person had the same problem they told him to unplug it for a couple of hours and it will reset maybe. I hope.this helps. Curtis
CaptainQuintero Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 New development, turn it on and within five minutes the temp shoots up to 38 (according to the display) while in actuality it is plummetting to 4 I'm starting to think that it is maybe, slighty, broken...... :/
CM125 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 How is the warranty some have a 90 day warranty, sorry for your bad luck. I hate to say it but I hope I have better luck than you are having I have a one on the way.
CaptainQuintero Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 I have 21 days with about two weeks left to run. Going to take it back tomorrow and try a different one from a different palce. I know things break every so often but you would think things wouldn't ship broken lol. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy Royal Sovereign make...anything Let me know how yours is when it arrives, looking for some positive stories here lol

Curtis I think I have found a replacement and going to go take a look at it tomorrow, can't find any information on whether it is thermoelectic or not so going to have to do some poking and prodding at the store, every person in the stores that I have been to haven't had a clue what thermoelectric even is... I think I am going to build a wooden cabinet to place the fridge in also, just to give a little extra boost of cooling. I even cleared a space ready and.....used a vacume cleaner
thechenman Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Well...now you know where Cuban Quality Control Experts from the cigar factories are now employed after leaving Cuba.
CaptainQuintero Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 Update, managed to get a Samsung fridge with about 45% knock off the price because it has a few little scratches around the door Build construction is just a whole other level up, it's like a Guantanamera Vs Behike ! The thing has a two inch thick double glazed door, 8cm top and the sides 4cm, it weighs twice as much as the piece of **** I sent back today but it has the same holding capacity and roughtly the same size. Really is an example of you get what you pay for (unless you get a big discount and make the salesman cry!) First store I went to today aswell, I had a solid 4/5 hours of shopping/moving between stores planned out too! Spent the rest of the day with a Monte#2 watching cricket in the sun instead
CaptainQuintero Posted June 13, 2011 Author Posted June 13, 2011 Everything has worked out well 3lb of 65% beads arrived from Czar today adn within an hour 65% humidity and 18c and silent as a nunnery
