Dripping CellarPro Cooling Unit


CellarPro Cooling Unit is Dripping



CellarPro cooling units don't produce water! If your wine cooling unit is dripping, the water is excess condensate which can only be caused by a leak in the wine cellar, which is allowing large amounts and/or a continuous flow of warmer, moister air to enter the cellar from the outside environment. When this happens, do the following:

1. Find and close any/all air leaks in the wine cellar.  The cellar should have been constructed with a moisture barrier around all walls, ceiling and floor, and therefore should be sealed airtight from the ambient environment.  Common causes of air leaks include door(s), lights, etc. that require additional treatment. 

2. Frequent opening and closing of the door will allow warm, moist air to enter the cellar, and may lead to excess condensation.  Try to limit the amount of time that the cellar door is open during humid conditions.

3. Raise the Minimum Set Point of the cooling unit to 58 degrees or above.

4. If your CellarPro cooling unit has a condensate drain fitting/line:

- Make sure the cooling unit is tilted backwards so that water flows to the rear,
- Clear any blockages, and
- Make sure your drain line has a trap, as shown in the following diagram: https://system.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=359&c=975151&h=3ee61f5f4c96ee55f1df&ck=TH5pVrV5AYbIwS0V&vid=TH5pVrV5AYPIwVy7&cktime=96755&gc=clear

5. Check the caulking around exhaust fan and if you find the source of the leak, seal it with silicon.
