So in this video I fix my Vinotemp VT-52sn wine fridge by replacing the power control board. I bought the new board from Vinotemp directly for $159.00 with shipping.

    Thanks for doing the vid, John. A few things worth mentioning: You can purchase a phone "holder" and stand pretty reasonably on Amazon. That will make your videos much easier to produce. Next, while convenient, I don't know if it's a good idea to enclose this fridge. Cool air and plenty of ventilation is needed by the compressor unit. Then, one is basically taking a chance for $160 that the original board is bad. Typically there's no return on electrical parts. (You got lucky) Next, your duplex wiring is an accident waiting to happen! Holy cow, I hope that wasn't installed by a licensed electrician! Next, one should always UNplug the appliance when working on it unless you are qualified to do so. Safety first!
  • thanks. Helpful, but didn't realize the control board is screwed to the box.
  • Nice vid in the future electrostatic can be an issue so probably not a good idea to slide the new board around too much

    Where did you buy the control board from? I own a VT32 (probably mfg date older than yours) but the board looks identical.

    You fool! Everyone knows you have to disconnect the RED wire FIRST to keep it from exploding!
