How to Troubleshoot the Voltage Intake Amp Output on an Emerson Wine Cooler

The Emerson wine cooler can store both red and white wines.

The Emerson wine cooler is a small refrigerator specifically designed to store and cool red and white wine. Meant for home use, the wine cooler requires proper installment and operating procedures to work efficiently, including a 5-inch clearance on each side and on the rear of the cooler from other objects or surfaces. The Emerson wine cooler must also be plugged into an electrical outlet that can supply adequate voltage intake and amp output so it can cool appropriately.

Things You'll Need

• Voltage meter

Instructions

1. Plug a voltage meter probe into the electrical outlet where the Emerson wine cooler will be connected.

2. Check the volt meter reading to verify that the outlet has at least 110 or 120 volts of electrical power.

3. Find the household fuse box and read the label on the inside of the fuse box door to make sure the outlet is connected to a 15-amp time-delay fuse.

4. Plug the Emerson wine cooler power cord into the electrical outlet. Remove any other appliances from the outlet.

5. Turn the wine cooler on by pressing the up or down arrow key pad on the control panel to set the desired cooling temperature. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool properly.

6. Reset the household circuit breaker or replace the fuse if the Emerson wine cooler has no power after verifying the proper voltage and amp reading for the cooler and setting the temperature for the cooler.

7. Contact Emerson for service if the power plug is damaged or broken or the cooler does not operate even after performing troubleshooting efforts. Do not use the wine cooler if the power cord is damaged or broken until the unit has been inspected and serviced by a professional technician.

Tips & Warnings

• Note that the Emerson wine cooler has an overall power consumption of 0.8 kilowatt-hours per 24-hour period at 59 degrees Fahrenheit, input power of 70 watts and rated frequency of 60 hertz. Contact an electrician for assistance if you are not sure how to use a voltage meter or read the fuse power label.
