Rubbish

I have two. Both not cold at all. Temperature doesn’t go below 20d. Cost few hundred bucks to repair. Only 4 years!! Anywhere or anyone can help me save the cooler?

Purchased in August 2021 at Dan Murphy's Online store for A$500.00.

6 Years Old and still going strong...

published

I purchased my Vintec wine cabinet through the Penfolds promo in 2014. Mine seems to be chugging along ok and hasn't succumbed to the failures of the others. We are renovating our house which I'm hoping to allow space for the Vintec in the kitchen but worried it'll fail as soon as we put it in given it's age. I know they're not supposed to be built in but this will have free space around it.



It's pretty loud when the compressor kicks in, just like an old fridge. I hope it continues on but it seems like it'll be a ticking time bomb.

Purchased in July 2021 for A$299.00.

Very quiet to run

Was good until it stopped working

Shut down wine fridge for 3 months while away on holidays. When returned switched back on but would not run, compressor o/k as was by passed and was cooling so not faulty. As the unit is fitted with pcb’s inside and out very hard to fault find problem, indoor fan still works o/k

Great little wine fridge

published

I had my fridge for over four years & it worked flawlessly.
It's quiet, the temperatures are very stable and looks great.
The fridge is very flexible as you can adjust shelves to suit your needs.
The quality & finish is top notch.
Very happy with my purchase.
Highly recommended.

Absolutely Useless after 15 months

published

I purchased this from Dan Murphy's and it stopped working after 15 months, I rang and was told it was a 1 year warranty and would cost $180 just to send a repair man to find out what was wrong with it. The only wine it is good for now is me whining to everyone I meet telling them to steer clear of Vintec fridges at all cost

Avoid if you have decent wine to store

published

I use this to only store reds for the long term at 16 degrees. After 2 years twice it has dropped to 2 (yes 2) degrees without any input from us. You can't even select 2 degrees - 5 is the minimum user selectable temperature. Has ruined several of my good bottles and I hate to think what it's done to my very long term $$$ wines. An email explaining the situation and requesting clarification on whether this should even be possible was met only with advice that a service call would be minimum $170. Why fix junk? Sworn off Vintec now.

30 Bottle Wine Cabinet V30SGME

As per other reviews I have read I shut down the fridge for 3 months, when restarted would not cool
Compressor would not run but indoor fan running o/k, bypassed PCB and put power direct to compressor ran o/k and was cooling so not a refrigerant problem
As I do not know Ohms readings for indoor probe cannot check to see if faulty
Can you suggest what could be wrong or do I just replace indoor and outdoor pcb and also the indoor sensor
Have checked transformer and is o/k
Regards
Mark

You can not build these fridges into a bench, it requires constant ventilation from all sides and must be set up freestanding.

30 Bottle Wine Cabinet V30SGME

Just bought the V30SGMEBK. Claims a capacity of 35 bottles but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to fit 35 in. The max I could fit in was 30. Can you please provide a photo of a stacking configuration of 35 bottles? Cheers.

They base there capacity rating on Bordeaux style bottles which are your standard 70 x 300mm bottles.
