Overview — 166 Bottle Single Zone Wine Cooler, Stainless Steel Door Trim (RW428SR)

Most wine collections are predominantly red wines and in some cases, all red wines.  If this is you, a single zone wine cooler is a better suited to your storage requirements than a dual zone cabinet. Single zone wine coolers provide a consistent, uniform temperature throughout the cabinet that creates an ideal environment for storing red wines.

  • Single temperature zone perfectly optimized for storing red wines. A temperature range of 41°-72° allows for a range of storage options. Digital thermostatic control takes the guess work out of monitoring the temperature of the wine cooler.

  • Economical choice for any wine lover needing lots of storage without breaking the bank. Versatile design allows our wine cabinets to be installed as a built in wine refrigerator or as a free standing appliance. Front facing exhaust and a reversible door hinge that enables the door swing to change to right or left means a Smith & Hanks wine cooler can be placed anywhere in your home.

  • Our air management system maintains a stable environment for your wine by circulating cool, humid air throughout the wine cabinet ensuring a consistent temperature and keeping those corks from drying out. The temperature of your wine in the bottle will fluctuate less than 1° over time and will maintain a humidity level between 50-70%.

  • Low profile wood accented wine shelf lets you store bottles of varying size with minimal impact to total bottle count..

  • Energy efficient compressor combined with a double paned tempered UV shielded glass door make a Smith & Hanks wine cooler energy efficient. We use only environmentally friendly refrigerant that uses no ozone depleting chemicals.

  • Soft LED lighting illuminates and showcases your wine collection.

  • Stainless doors give a professional look and will blend with any decor.

FAQs — 166 Bottle Single Zone Wine Cooler, Stainless Steel Door Trim (RW428SR)

Q: Why do I have a blinking blue light in my temperature control panel?

Answer: The blinking blue light on your temperature control panel is an indication that the wine cooler is working in its most quiet mode and the internal fans are running at 75% of their maximum.

Q: I'm trying to set the temperature, but it won't get cold enough and the temperature of the top and bottom zones are changing at the same time.  What's happening?

Answer: The upper zone has to be set 4 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the bottom zone.  If you try to set them at the same temperature or within 4 degrees of each other you will see that they move in tandem to try to keep this 4 degree temperature difference.

Q: Why does the top zone have to be 4 degrees colder than the bottom zone?

Answer: You are probably familiar with the concept of heat rising and cold falling and we use that phenomenon to regulate the temperature of our wine and beverage coolers.  The top zone is your cold zone and the bottom zone is your warmer zone.  That’s not a typo.  It seems counterintuitive, but in a wine cooler the cooling mechanism is in the upper zone so we want the cold air to fall into the lower zone and push the warm air from the lower zone up into the cooling mechanism located in the upper zone.  With continual cold air falling and warm air rising we are creating a circular air flow pattern between the 2 zones that helps to keep them both balanced.

Q: Can I use my wine or beverage cooler outdoors?

Answer: No, you cannot use your wine or beverage cooler outdoors. Your wine or beverage cooler will operate efficiently at ambient temperatures between 85° and 95° Fahrenheit.  Outside these temperatures and your wine or beverage cooler will not cool very well.

Q: The temperature of my wine cooler is fluctuating a lot.  Is this normal?

Answer: Yes! It is normal for the temperature of your wine cooler to fluctuate within 5-6° Fahrenheit. We often tell people that your wine cooler operates the same way your car’s air conditioning does on a hot day:  If you are in your car on a hot day and turn off the air conditioner you can last about 5 or 10 seconds before it starts to get uncomfortable and you need to turn the air conditioner back on.  But, if you have a cold drink with you it will stay cold for a very long time inside that hot car.  The same is true for your wine bottles.  Although the air temperature in your wine cooler will fluctuate about 5°, the wine inside the bottle will fluctuate about 1/2° over a long period of time.

Q: My wine cooler is running a lot more often than my refrigerator.  Is this normal?

Answer: Yes! It is normal for your wine cooler will run more often than your household refrigerator.  A refrigerator’s purpose is to keep your food at a safe temperature, under 40°, in order to keep it from spoiling. In order to save energy, your refrigerator has long on/off cycles and the internal air temperature will often fluctuate between -5° to + 8° of your set temperature. As long as the internal refrigerator temperature stays in that range the temperature of your food and beverages will remain under 40°. Wine, on the other hand, has to be stored at a very consistent temperature or it will go bad prematurely.   In order to maintain a consistent temperature your wine refrigerator has to turn on and run more often than your refrigerator.

Q: If I'm building the wine cooler into a cabinet, how much space do I need to leave between the cabinet and appliance?

Answer: Your wine or beverage cooler needs some airflow to work properly.  We recommend half an inch of space between your cabinets and the body of the wine cooler to help create this airflow.  If you don’t have half an inch of available space, you can get away with as little as 1/4 inch, but you will need to make sure you have a minimum of 2 inches of space between the back of the wine or beverage cooler and the wall behind it.

Q: Are the shelves adjustable?

Answer: Yes, individual shelves are removable, which can create additional space for larger bottles.

Q: Will your wine refrigerators fit large bottles like Pinot and Chardonnay?

Answer: Yes, our wine coolers can fit larger bottles. We use low profile metal shelves that give us additional space between the shelves above and below it.  This creates extra space the helps larger bottles like pinot noir and chardonnay to fit well.

Q: Are your doors reversible?

Answer: Yes, the doors are reversible, and changing the door swing direction is a piece of cake! All it takes is a Phillips head screwdriver and about 5 minutes of your time.

Q: Are your wine and beverage coolers loud?

Answer: Our wine and beverage refrigerators are rated at 39 decibels.  This is similar in volume to a whisper.

Q: Can I buy an extended warranty?

Answer: Yes, extended warranties are available and you can learn more about them here: https://offgridharbor.com/pages/warranty-policy-needs-phone.

Q: What's your return policy?

Answer: You can return any product for any reason within 30 days.  You can read more about our return policy here:  https://offgridharbor.com/pages/return-policy.

Q: Why does my new wine cooler smell weird?

Answer: That smell is mostly stale air mixed with a new plastic odor.  This will go away quickly once you plug in the appliance and start circulating the air inside.  You can also clean the inside with a mixture of mild detergent and water and a little baking soda.

Q: Your shipping company delivered my wine refrigerator upside down.  Should I be worried?

Answer: No, you should not worry if your wine cooler was delivered on it's side or upside down. Turn it right side up and let it sit for about 24 hours before plugging it in and it will operate normally.
