Undercounter Wine Storage models like the UW-24 and UW-24/S, as well as the Classic BW-30, use EC 15 to report a sealed system problem. The control has seen that the refrigeration loop (compressor, refrigerant and coils) is not cooling the way it should. This is not a door or sensor alarm. Most owners see the wine slowly warming in all zones, the compressor running constantly or not at all, and the code returning after resets.
1. Check that the unit has power and the light works. 2. Clear the grille so the condenser can breathe. 3. Feel near the grille for warm air; note if none comes out. 4. Reset at the breaker once after one minute. 5. If EC 15 returns, move valuable bottles and schedule service.
Not always. Sometimes a start or power issue keeps the compressor from running and is fixed quickly. If there is a leak or restriction, the repair is larger, and we explain the options first.
Yes. The BW-30 uses the same meaning. We test the sealed system the same way on either model. Leak checks, pressure readings and compressor tests are identical on the Classic built-in and the undercounter unit.
It depends on age and what we find. We give a written price for the repair, and you decide. Our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
