Service Under Warranty: Vinotemp cooling units are warranted to produce the stated number of BTU/H. While every effort has been made to provide accurate guidelines, Vinotemp cannot warranty its units to cool a particular enclosure.

In case of failure, Vinotemp cooling units must be repaired by the factory or its authorized agent. Repairs or modifications made by anyone else will void the warranty.

Should a Vinotemp cooling unit fail, contact the dealer for instructions. Do not return the unit to the factory without authorization from Vinotemp. If the unit requires repair, re-pack it in the original shipping carton and return it to the factory, shipping prepaid. Vinotemp will not accept COD shipments. If the unit is determined to be faulty and is within the warranty period, Vinotemp will, at its discretion, repair or replace the unit and return it free of charge to the original retain customer. If the unit is found to be in good working order, or beyond the initial warranty period, it will be returned freight collect.

With Wine-Mate products, if the customer calls and the product is “defective”, you may be required to obtain a letter from your qualified refrigeration technician at the customers cost, to verify that the unit was installed properly, with proper ventilation and the unit is truly malfunctioning due to manufacture defect.
