Whynter wineador wiring question

[retrofail]

For all you wiring gurus out there. My wineador is connected to an ETC, which is good. The problem is, part of the coolers boot function is to beep upon powering on. 

Being in the bedroom, the beeping in the middle of the night is very annoying. Anyone know how to circumvent the beep?

It definitely emits from the temp control board on the front of the door and sounds like it comes from the same piece that displays the LED numbers. I'm temped to disconnect this control board but am afraid it would disable the old unit completely.

Whats the ambient temp in the room...highs and lows? I have one in a basement office that goes between 65-75. I don't even plug it in. Keep the RH at 65 and I don't worry about it.

Noted. But that's not what I'm asking.

Just want to know if anyone knows if it's possible to turn off the beep without disabling the unit.

Open up the unit and expose the electronic board. Should be easy to locate the speaker. You can then simply cut off power to it

I would say that the advice given is sound so I have little to add.

Be aware that these proprietary PLCs may have start up error codes and cutting anything might fault the PLC.

Before I cut anything I would call them and tell them that the beep is annoying... They may have a startup routine that silences the mode. You may even find it in the manual.

Thanks. That's what I'm afraid of. Was hoping someone had cut it before, so I wouldn't have to call Whynter. I've heard their service is less than stellar. But I'll give it a shot.
