Breezaire WKE-4000 Wine Cellar Cooling Unit (Max Room Size = 1000 cu ft)

Built a new house with a wine vault, bought this unit. The reset is difficult to use. Let town on vacation and came home to find the unit had leaked all over, filled my overflow pan and leakage all down one wall of my oak wine shelves and racks. Horrible mess stained my wood. Hasn't happen since, but still have fears it might happen again. A bit noisy, but tolerable.

I am a home builder that purchased a WKL6000 from Wine Enthusiast for a client. The unit ran fine the first year or so and all of a sudden is stopped turning off and ran past the set temperature. I can't believe the manufacturer does not have any technicians to service those in Illinois. We've purchased these units in the past on numerous occasions and haven't had any problems until now, probably because the other units were not used as much as this one. I'm reading quite a few of these negative comments regarding this issue and I would assume the manufacturer should take some steps to remedy this, either by changing their warranties or find local service for these units. I think this will be the last Breezeaire unit we've purchased.

built a wine cellar which holds 800 bottles and 6 100L stainless tanks of wine. works great-wine is happy. good temperature and humidity control. Will be buying a second unit for my new room.

I have had the unit for about 2 years. Unit cools very well to any temperature I want in my well insulated cellar. During Yr 1 Unit stopped shutting off and would continue to run up to 15 degrees below set temp - or until I unplugged it. Called CS and they sent a new control module. It helped but lately unit has been running past low temp set about 1/2 of time. Like others problem with service is you must remove your built in unit from the cellar and ship to Ca for possible repair. 5 yr warranty only covers parts. [...]If you read other reviews you will find the problem of not shutting off at the set temp is common to other reviewers units.

the cord for the thermostat is too short and the double sided tape pads don't stick to the unit, not a very big downside though. quality unit, quiet operation. the last one lasted 5-6 years, we'll see if this lasts longer. not many options since i have a room with a fixed space for the unit :)

My cellar is happy!
