    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Cuisinart Thermoelectric Wine Fridge CWC-1600 won't cool.

Someone gave me this wine fridge. He was going to throw it away because it didn't cool. I figured I could fix it because I have fixed a couple wine fridges by replacing the compressor relay, and they start right up. Well this does not have a compressor. Just a fan and a heat sink of some sort. I googled it and I guess its thermoelectric. The fan blows but the fridge doesn't get cold. From what I have researched about this type they either work or don't. Anyone have experience with these? Or are they disposable? Is there an easy fix?

 

This is all there is to it

You need to find the replacement value.  If the manufacture still supports it, get the part number and where to buy the pwb.  I have also sent some similar pwbs to CoreCentric to be rebuilt.  You need to know the value to determine if it is worth repair.  Quite often wine friges can be bought for a few hundred dollars, which might make them uneconomical to repair.
