How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before removing interior panels.
Steps:
- Check loading: Ensure bottles are not blocking air vents at the rear or between zones.
- Verify setpoints: Confirm that both zones are set to appropriate and similar temperatures if desired.
- Inspect mixing fan: Access the inter-zone duct and verify that the inter-zone mixing fan runs when both zones call for cooling.
- Test sensors: Compare actual temperatures with a thermometer in each zone. If one sensor is inaccurate, replace the corresponding zone NTC sensor.
