WF1051

Most common issues on this model

1. Wine zones that drift from their set temperatures
2. Activated charcoal filter saturated, letting musty air circulate
3. Humidity control no longer keeping the cabinet from drying or sweating
4. Freezer coil frost from a worn defrost heater or drain
5. Wooden pull-out shelves that bind on their runners

Half of the cabinet holds wine in two zones, 34 bottles in all, and the other half is a NoFrost freezer, which makes the WF1051 a 24-inch built-in with two jobs. It dates from the 2009 listing, and the wine side has been protecting a collection in the same spot for well over a decade.

Aging shows in air quality first. The activated charcoal filter fills up and stops absorbing odors, so a musty note appears. We replace it, then measure both wine zones with a probe, check the gasket, and look at the humidity control. The wooden shelves are tested on their runners.

On the freezer side, we look at the coil for frost and the drain for ice. SuperQuiet means a fan that starts rattling is easy to hear. You get a written price before we start, and a 30-day workmanship warranty follows the repair.
