Questions & Answers

We keep our wine refrigerator in the house in a hall, but it is not built in. Does this refrigerator have to be built in?

It can be either built-in or freestanding for installation.

    We kept our’s out in the open It looked fine but it over-cooled on multiple occasions. We had problems after only 2 weeks. It actually froze some of the bottles at one point. You’ll have to pay to return the unit, repair it yourself, or pay someone to repair it for you (the warranty isn’t really a warranty on anything) I wouldn’t recommend this fridge for any setting, built in or out in the open.

      No, it does not have to be built in. But I would not recommend this fridge as it stopped working within 2 months of owning it.

            Yes that is where i have mine but keep in mind there maybe higher temp fluctuations during the day causing it to work harder. If you live in a climate that gets into the 100s during the day in the summer i would suggest keeping it indoors.

              The item should be installed in a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). <br><br> Our Consumer Support Team is available Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST at 1-866-WHYNTER (1-866-949-6837) and at support@whynter.com should you have additional questions.

                I wouldn’t recommend using it in a garage. Our unit has trouble maintaining temperature in a normal home. Our started over cooling after 2 weeks and at one point froze some of our bottles. The warranty won’t cover the cost of any return or repair so I’d avoid this product at all costs.

                    Are the shelves removable? Are the shelves adjustable? (up and down) Do large, wide bottles fit? 750ML bottles that have more glass than regular bottles, and are thicker, wider. When you pull out the shelf, does it stay in place, or fall forward? Sturdy shelves?

                    Yes, the shelves are removable.

                      The shelves are locked in to place. The unit will likely malfunction and over cool pretty quickly after you purchase it so you’ll want to avoid using any of the shelves. Some of the wines on our lower shelves actually froze at one point. I wouldn’t recommend this unit for any shelf configuration or collection.

                            Broke after 3 years
                            Purchased in 2021, stopped cooling in 2024. I opened the door fewer than 3 times/month as this fridge was purely for storage. Exclusively kept in a room-temperature kitchen. Reached out to Whynter for troubleshooting, and after just two attempts their advice was to "PURCHASE A NEW UNIT." Shockingly they didn't even advise hiring a technician to evaluate. AVOID THIS BRAND.

                              Reliable and Nice looking Fridges
                              This is my second Whynter Wine Fridge, both 166 bottles single zone. I got the first one a couple of years ago and I'm totally satisfied with it, so I decided to get a second one a month ago. It is quiet, it keeps the temperature, and flexible if you want to store different bottle formats/sizes. Now I have both together and I really enjoying how they look and how many bottles I can store on each one. I really like that the door handle can be changed to any side, then you can have them together.

                                Great Units!
                                I purchased two of these (One 166 bottle single zone and one dual zone) about a year ago. I have had EuroCave's previously. Someone just asked me for a wine fridge recommend. I recommend Whynter!!! Quiet, steady temperature, versatile for large formats (I store 6L bottles), sturdy shelves, display shelves, good lighting, and I think they look cool, but maybe that's just me!

                                  So far so good
                                  I have only had the fridge for a month, but I am very happy with it. It is currently in the living room as a freestanding cabinet. The plan is to move it to the kitchen during an upcoming kitchen reno and integrate it with the other cabinets. It was a bit of a learning curve to figure out how you could get 166 bottles in there, or even close to that. The trick seems to be that you alternate the bottles "head to toe" on the shelves. This gets 9 bottles per shelf, so 144 bottles. Maybe if you have a bunch of demi or split bottles (375ml) maybe you could get to 166, maybe.

                                    Picked it up myself from the store because i have the right equipment. Let it rest for a day then plugged it in as recommended. While I have not yet got a secondary thermometer to verify the temperature, the bottles feel cool to the touch and seems like it is right where it should be. I like the idea of the upper display rack but instead i took it out (easily) and am saving for future use, but that has become my oversized bottle area, like the 1.5 liter bottles. You can fit pinot noir style bottles and champagne bottles in the regular shelf size, even the slightly wider turley bottle. The only difference is that you will only get 166 bottles if you have the small 750ml bottle, you get some of the CA reds or Pinots and you rapidly loose space. The forward bottles are faced bottom out in the inner bottles are the opposite so they rest top to top. Since the shelves only come out so far, to get something out of the back you have to take a bottle out from the front to make room. So far a month or two into owning it everything has been great. Only have it about half full, so that means its time to go and hit some wineries. Looking forward to finally having the room to cellar some of my wines that can sit for a number of years to develop versus the drink now that so many wines have evolved into.

                                    Do not buy this, never worked
                                    Never worked properly, would not cool. Tried fixes, then contacted the mfg. They asked me to do testing and fixes. Failure. They said send it back for warranty and PAY $525 for shipping. What kind of warranty is that? I am supposed to package it up, shrink wrap it to a pallet and if there is any damage in shipping, I am responsible. Totally unacceptable. I was sent a defective item and the warranty is useless. Avoid unless you want aggravation.

                                      Have had it up and running for a week. Temperature has been stable. Was easy to load. I have another brand and the Whytner definitely has more room for pinot and chardonnay bottles. So far I highly recommend!
