# Dacor wine column not cooling repair

### A third of a degree is the specification, so two degrees is a problem

Wine cabinets are sold on tolerance, and this one is specified tightly enough that a drift most refrigerators would shrug off counts as a failure. The owner who calls about two degrees is not being fussy. What decides the repair is how many zones are wrong: one adrift while the others hold is the division of airflow — that zone's sensor or damper — and stays small; all three drifting together moves it to the system feeding them, where the condenser and the coastal air become the first suspects.

What this involves

One zone wrong is local; three zones wrong is the system

Two degrees is a problem on a cabinet specified to a third of one

A full cabinet holds temperature far better than an empty one during a visit

Log all three zones against their settings

With an instrument, over time, rather than by reading the display back to itself. The display is the thing under suspicion.

Split airflow problems from system problems

Dampers, sensors and the ducting between zones first. Only then the condenser, the fan and the sealed system.

Recheck after recovery

A cabinet that has had its door open for an hour needs time before its readings mean anything. We wait rather than certify it early.

### How do I know it is really out?

A thermometer in each zone, placed among the bottles rather than in the airflow, read twice an hour apart. The display is the thing under suspicion, so it is not the evidence.

### Should I move the wine?

Only out of the zone that has drifted, and only after a day. The rest of the cabinet is working, and a full column is far more stable than an empty one while a repair is arranged.
