    I have a Wine Cooler with an inside temp display. I’ve just noticed that the temp says 22 degrees C and the cooler is warm inside.
    The fan inside the cooler is running constantly, There is a fan underneath the cooler near the compressor which is running constantly.
    I unplugged it and plugged it back in, the fans started up straight away and i heard the compressor starts up, If I touch the compressor it is warm so seems like its at least running. Any idea’s what this could be. There is a diagram on the back that shows a thermastat with two sensors and two fans connected to it plus the compressor. Could it be a sensor or thermastat?
    Its a Caple Wi3113 cooler.

    I would suggest it is either short of refrigerant or the compressor is faulty.

    is it easy/cheap to have the refrigerant replaced?
    Same for compressor, Caple sell the compress for just over £100, are they costly to fit?
