Emerson FR24SL 8 Bottles Wine Cooler with Thermal Glass Door, Stainless Steel



CLEAN YOUR FILTER for longer Life.
Guess What?

As Ive read most of your reviews, you fail to mention CLEANING the fan (AS INSTRUCTIONS SAY TO DO )

After 6 months I had the same problem till I read the instructions and it said to clean the fan every 4-6 months.. If the fan is clogged, it wont work..

Trust me.. This is my 3rd year with this product.. Dont throw it away until youve tried that first.

A little education helps...
My original review for this wine cooler was right in line with others who stated that it slowly stopped cooling anywhere from six months to a year and was essentially a piece of junk. The review by 7274 on Dec 9, 2010, sheds some light on the problem, namely that the filter at the back of the unit requires periodic cleaning for the unit to work properly. My cooler was still sitting where I left it since I still found it useful for storing wine. I took a look in back and sure enough the filter was caked with dust. I removed it (it pops right out), cleaned it, reinstalled it, then plugged it in to see what would happen. The unit started cooling again, and after 24 hours is holding its temperature setting of 55 degrees.
While I am pleased that it isn't really broken, this strikes me as a troubling design flaw, but I don't expect much from Emerson so it doesn't surprise me. In any case, as the aforementioned reviewer states, the product manual does reference cleaning the...

Emerson FR24SL WASTE of $$$
Wish we had read the reviews FIRST. As others have written, in less than one year, it quit cooling properly - sometimes not cooling at all. I contacted the company to find out how to get it repaired or replaced; will cost more to package and ship than we paid for it... so essentially, NO WARRANTY. We will be shopping for a more reliable brand!
