Cooler switches on no issues, control panel lights up and compressor runs. After a while the compressor becomes hot although the cooler doesn’t chill. There are no fans around the compressor so can rule that out as an issue.
I checked the resistance across the compressor, PTC relay and overload relay and all seemed to check out – overload relay had 2 ohms of resistance so bought a replacement and PTC relay just to be safe.
Any suggestions?
Re: Wine Cooler Repair
if the compressor is running then its either a gas problem ( lack of or none ie leaked out) or the compressor is gone
either way its a specialist job and unless its just gas and then maybe its worth it but the compressor is not
i could not do this job so as a non professional you will not be able to

Compressor swap, somewhere North of about £120 I’d think.
Regassing it, depends who does it where but think on about £80 plus.

Nope. Dave is correct I’d think by the sound of it.
It’s probably a dodgy pot as, it’ll probably be a Chinese thing, with a Chinese pot in it so, the math says…

Re: Wine Cooler Repair
There’s a lot of these about right now with leaking evaporators.
That’s probably the root cause of the problem.
