Haier 18 Bottle Wine Cooler [Update]
Our Haier 18 bottle wine cooler just recently blew its fuses again. That’s twice in 2 years. It blows the 5amp 250v fuse on the 12v side of the power supply. First time it blew one of the two units and we wondered by it was not cooling well for a couple of months until the 2nd one blew and the whole unit stopped. This time it blew both close enough together that we only noticed it stopped completely. Instead of replacing again with a 5A 250v glass tube fuse that is soldered in place, I’m going to use a breaker or fuse socket to make things easier the next time. Some reports online that these units draw more than 5A.
Update: I replaced the 5amp glass fuses with socketed 5amp automotive ATC style fuses. One fan was a bit loud so I put the 5amp fuse with it.
