Wine Fridge "HELP"

[Crypto Sailor]

I've finally purchased a vinotemp from target for 159OTD...I've inspected it and plugged it in to ensure it works. I'm wiping it out and once I head to work I'll place the baking soda inside and close the door. I've seen one member makes trays ( and I'll be sending him a PM) and another who made a run off allowing the water to empty into beads but I've got no clue where this said hole is or what he used for the run off. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm stoked and now i've got two humi I'd like to sale for a reasonable price (I'll post pics in the proper places)

as long as you plug the drain hole and fill it with beads you should be fine.. do a search plenty of brothers have done so.

"IF" I plug the hole where will the water exit? I was under the impression that some contraption was made to drain the run off into the beads?

the water should be absorbed by the beads.. like I said do a search plenty of brother on here have this set up and have fashioned a kind of funnel to guide water directly on to the beads.

I simply left my cooler as is. Then I simply stick some paper towel on the drain pan every couple of days and no problems. Humidity has never been effected by the drain hole, so I just leave it alone.

I placed some black electrical tape over the drain hole. then placed 1/2 pound of beads in the mesh bag over the drain hole. Any condensation that drips down will be absorbed by the beads, then redistributed back.

I fired mine up the other day and the back wall frosted up. Freaked the livin sh-t out of me. Shut it right off.

Question: Is this what happens until the temp. stabalizes? Should I run it empty for a few hours and this will take care of it?

Any info is appreciated.

turn your temp to the highest level possible, then yeah if it's freezing i would say you have an issue

Mtmouse,

Thanks that's what I was looking for.

grab a johnsons temperature controller.. these help with temperature jumpa causing the humidity spikes.

You got a Vinotemp 28 for 160 (what's the "OTD" mean). That might mean my local target has them on sale too! Was this with the new Target credit card discount too?

you can still use the 10% off the on sale price of 150

So the total should be 135 plus tax

Which is a BITCHIN DEAL
