KitchenAid 2300276B User Manual

When you are moving your beverage center to a new home, 
follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. Remove all wine bottles from the beverage center.

2. Unplug the beverage center.

3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.

4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them 

together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the beverage 

center.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to 
the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions.

■

Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 
3 prong outlet.

■

Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker 
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.

■

Is the Beverage Center Control turned to the OFF 
position? See “Using the Control.”

■

Is a light bulb loose in the socket? Unplug beverage center 
or disconnect power. Gently remove the bulb and reinsert. 
Plug in beverage center or reconnect power.

■

Has a light bulb burned out? Replace with an appliance 
bulb of the same wattage, size, and shape. See “Changing 
the Light Bulb.”

■

Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the 
motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal 
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of 
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even 
more of the time.

■

Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer 
when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get 
everything you need out of the beverage center at once, keep 
wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to 
find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Control.”

■

Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If 
it will not shut all the way, see “The door will not close 
completely” later in this section.

■

Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer 
and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. 
See “Cleaning.”

■

Is the door opened often? Be aware that the beverage 
center will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the 
beverage center cool, try to get everything you need out of 
the beverage center at once, keep wine bottles positioned 
label side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door 
as soon as the wine is removed.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Control.”

■

Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not 
install the beverage center behind a cabinet door or block the 
base grille.

■

Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to 
get everything you need out of the beverage center at once, 
keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are 
easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is 
removed. When the door is opened, humidity from the room 
air enters the beverage center. The more often the door is 
opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the 
room itself is very humid.

■

Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the 
beverage center when the air is humid.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Control.”
