I moved a 16-bottle wine fridge from one room to another this weekend. Kept the whole thing level during the move and let it sit in the new spot I'm guessing at least a half hour or more before plugging it in. Was cooling fine, now it is not.

What do y'all think?

The fan dust cover was pretty dirty so I cleaned that, but it didn't fix the problem. My guess is the fan stopped completely, but just seems weird to have happen immediately after moving it when it had been doing fine before.

Unit powers up just fine. Is about 5 years old. When I get home tonight I was going to pop the cover off and check the fan and probably replace it, but just wanted to cover my bases here first to see if anyone had insight.

If it's dead, I have a larger sized one I will sell you.

I'm on the west coast, so unless you are out here it's probably not worth it!

Just caught this video of a relay placement:

May be what I look into as well.

Turned it on with the cover off earlier. It was pretty dang dirty and the fan did not run. Did not see any other apparent issues. Ordering a replacement fan and see if that handles it!

Who'd you buy it from?

I bought an N'Finity from Wine Enthusiast, about 8 years after purchase it had an issue where it was turning on but not running, seems a little different from yours as the display was also flashing.

I emailed Wine Enthusiast technical service and after a few email exchanges they recommended a power PCB that was $9.99, which fixed the problem.

I know power outages can be bad on appliances, I've had to replace a control panel on a freezer after one.

It was a gift so not sure where it came from. I have the fan and will replace it when I have time. Not in a rush at all right now though as it's sitting out in the garage with wine and I live in a cool climate. Been monitoring temp and it's maintaining 58-61 pretty damn consistently. Might be even less temperature fluctuation than in normal operation.

have you tried plugging it in to different (various) outlets, or perhaps back in the original one? The issue might be something in the house electrical that affects the new plug that you just hadn't uncovered before. Can't hurt to try, if you haven't already.
