In the high-end residential area of Silver Lake·Tianfeng, the owners' pursuit of quality of life is everywhere, especially those who love to taste red wine. As an important equipment for collecting fine wines, the operation status of the wine cabinet is crucial. Recently, an owner reported that his wine cabinet had a problem that the upper part was not refrigerated but the lower part was refrigerated normally, which not only affected the storage conditions of the red wine, but also may cause damage to the precious wine.

The working principle of the wine cabinet is to form a stable low-temperature environment in the cabinet through the circulation of the refrigerant generated by the compressor. When the upper part of the wine cabinet is not refrigerated but the lower part is normal, the first thing to consider is whether the circulation of the refrigeration system is blocked or whether the refrigerant is unevenly distributed. This may be caused by the following reasons:
1. Refrigeration system circulation failure. The refrigeration system of the wine cabinet consists of a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator to form a closed cycle. If a part of the cycle is blocked or leaked, the refrigerant will not flow normally, thus affecting the refrigeration effect. Especially in the evaporator part, if the upper evaporator is blocked or frosted severely, it will directly affect the refrigeration effect of the upper part.
2. Uneven distribution of refrigerant. In the design of the wine cabinet, the distribution of refrigerant should be uniform to ensure the temperature of the entire cabinet is consistent. If the refrigerant distribution system fails, such as the distribution pipeline is blocked or the valve fails, the refrigerant will gather in the lower part, and the upper part will not get enough refrigerant, resulting in the phenomenon of no refrigeration in the upper part.
3. Temperature sensor failure. The wine cabinet is usually equipped with multiple temperature sensors to monitor the temperature in the cabinet in real time and feedback to the control system. If the upper temperature sensor fails, it may misreport the temperature information, causing the control system to misjudge and reduce the refrigeration capacity of the upper part.
In response to this problem, the maintenance personnel carried out the following processing steps:
First, the refrigeration system of the wine cabinet was fully checked, including the working pressure of the compressor, the heat dissipation effect of the condenser, the opening of the expansion valve, and the frosting of the evaporator. Through investigation, it was found that there was slight frosting on the upper evaporator, and it was initially judged that the evaporator was blocked.
Secondly, the refrigerant distribution system was checked and a small blockage was found in the distribution pipeline, which may be the cause of uneven refrigerant distribution. The maintenance personnel cleared it.
Finally, the temperature sensor was tested to confirm that it was working properly, eliminating the problem of misjudgment caused by sensor failure.
After the above treatment, the problem of no refrigeration on the upper part of the wine cabinet was effectively solved. The maintenance personnel also carried out comprehensive cleaning and maintenance of the wine cabinet to ensure its long-term stable operation.
This maintenance case not only solved the actual problem of the owner, but also reminded us to pay attention to the maintenance and care of home appliances in daily life, find and solve problems in time, and ensure that the quality of life is not affected.
