how do I get the white side to cool? It has stopped
1799709
There's 2 units in the wine cooler, and it sounds like one has stopped working. Make sure you have adequate ventilation for both sides. Each side generates lots of heat, and they need plenty of ventilation to work properly.

We had to call an appliance repair company. There was an electrical board that failed and they replaced it for us. Since then, that side worked great until the "red side" stopped working. Have to call the company back to replace that board as well...

I have actually called EdgeStar on this very issue. Our unit was not cooling on the left side. It seems the issue I had was that the fan would not run unless I turned the interior light on. However, when I did this the fan ran non-stop which caused temperature issues with the right side. Edgestar offers two options within the first year...send the whole unit in and pay for shipping or have a technician service the unit and then request warranty parts from Edgestar. So far we have done neither. The fan should start and stop as the desired temperature is met. Please respond if you've had any success in resolving. We are on the brink of getting a new fridge.

I've only had mine for a few weeks now, but what you're describing sounds like a fan issue. From the looks of the internal pics on here (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61A0j-QpddL.jpg), you'll likely need to remove the top cover to get to the areas where the fans are, as they sit between a coil and the heat sink. Worst case, they look like standard computer fans, so just replace them all with better fans.

I had the same problem. The insulation on the wiring did not keep it cool causing it to melt then the wiring melted together. I cut out the connector and hard wired the positive to positive and negative to negative seperately and insulated them very heavily. I am now keeping "ALL" the wiring away from eachother to make sure that never happens again. I hand-made a bracket to keep the controler away from the battery to eliminate some of the heat problem and it seems to be working. Good luck.

My laptop does exactly the same thing, and the answer is yes it cools all over. Sometimes when I first turn the fan on I slide it a bit so the left side is more towards the center just to get immediate results but once the side is cooler to the touch I center the laptop on the pad and it maintains the lower temperatures just fine.

I have a two year old 16GB Zen that now gets the white screen frequently. It is temperature related. The one thing I have found that will always fix it is putting it in a plastic bag with a Sorb-it silica gel canister (to absorb condensation), and putting in the refrigerator for about five minutes. I also keep it in the plastic bag while cold to prevent condensation. I took great care of my Zen and am dissatisfied with its short life-span. I will avoid Creative products until I know this problem has been solved.

The white side should be facing up...that minimizes the condensation that can form on the slick side.

Just clean it with water. I fill up the water every couple hours. So It can get cooler.

I had the same thing happen to me but the right side stopped working. I couldn't change temperatures. I wound up purchasing a new one for $100. I assumed that I had gotten some drywall dust in the thermostat when i was working in the area. I looked at the ribbon cable and everything looked fine.

Top side is white and underside is either white or Silver.If it is Silver because it's heat reflecting. It blocks UV rays, and can reduce the temp directly under up to 20 degrees.

Just air it out - fluff it - turn it over a few times. We haven't had a problem with it.

Most likely the problem is a clog in the condensate line. These units have a reputation for this, although I've got three of them and haven't had the problem. If you take off the left side panel you'll see the coils and where the water drips down into a drip tray. There's a fairly small hole in this tray where the water is carried down into the system, get's evaporated, and is exhausted with the hot air through the window. This small drain hole is likely clogged and you'll have to clean it with a small brush. I believe others have posted more detailed instructions for this, and there may be instructions on DeLonghi's website as well. I do know that I vacuum my units regularly, both the filter and at the side vents, but at the end of the season I take them apart and clean them thoroughly and I've found an enormous amount of dirt and, in my case, dog hair, stuck in the coils. Cleaning this out helps to prevent the problem and also greatly improves it's cooling capacity. I hope this helps!

Havent had any heating issues. I have mine for almost 2 years. I would try reapplying the thermal grease & ensure the heat sink's base is completely flat. This is assuming its clean & has good air flow.

Try a fresh cartridge, sometimes is was keep in a warm place or you don't use in a while this happens.

look at the plug where it connects to the cooler. one way it heats if you turn it around it will cool.

I wish I could help you on this, but I can't. I've only had mine for a few weeks now and haven't run into that problem. Sorry!

At one point, with a different unit, mine was doing something very similar. After some experimentation, I determined the the cooling fins were full of lint and the unit was over heating. I solved the problem by taking the unit apart up by where the fan is. I used a compressor to blow all the dust and lint from the fins. I reassembled the unit and tried it again. It worked fine.

Mine has started doing the same thing, only it worked really well for a few months. I think it's because I wiped the inner circle on the bottom, which the instructions say not to do. I did it lightly, because I want it clean, but apparently, this ruins the unit! VERY frustrating because now I have to buy a new one!
