NOTE TO CUSTOMER
Thank you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL wine cabinet unit. Our main goals are customer satisfaction and providing the best wine storage solutions on the market. If you –have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at info@whisperkool.com.
It is mandatory that you DO NOT plug in or start your new
WhisperKOOL wine cabinet unit for 24 hours after its delivery.
Units are sometimes placed on their side during shipping, which might cause
the compressor oil to escape the reservoir. Starting the unit before the oil
has had a chance to settle again can cause damage to the compressor and
negatively affect cooling.
A dedicated 20 amp circuit is highly recommended for optimum operation.
Tripped breakers and deficient performance may occur if other devices are
pulling power from the same circuit. Do not use a Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI) with this product. The cooling unit will draw more amperage than the GFI
will allow.
It is recommended that you plug your unit into a surge protector or power
conditioner. Just like with any sensitive electrical equipment, the unit’s
circuitry may be damaged by power surges and spikes — which are not covered by
the warranty.
ABOUT THE WHISPERKOOL 2500
The system was designed to operate in controlled environments with temperatures ranging between 60°-85°F. This is ideal for cabinets that will be inside a home or temperature-controlled environment.
LIQUID MEASURING THERMOMETER
By measuring the temperature of the liquid, the temperature reading will be consistent and the unit will only run when it needs to.
To Install the Thermostat:
- Fill an empty wine bottle to its neck with room temperature water.
- Press the bottle probe securely into the bottle.
- Place the bottle with a probe into a level rack space. Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord as it may become disconnected, which would lead to inaccurate temperature readings.
The WhisperKOOL system is based on the temperature of the wine (It is ideal to place the probed bottle midway in the racking so that it is not near cold supply air). Do not be misled by ambient temperatures that are read from the outside of the cabinet. The air temperature in the cabinet will be cooler than the liquid temperature of the wine while it’s coming to optimum balanced temperature.
WK 2500 WIRING DIAGRAM
SYSTEM OPERATION (WHISPERKOOL 2500)
Initial Startup
When power is applied to the unit, the control will briefly display all
symbols, and the snowflake symbol will be displayed (if the unit is calling
for cooling). There may be a brief delay (up to 60 sec.) before the evaporator
fan turns on. When the evaporator fan is activated, the fan symbol will
display.
Setpoint
The setpoint is preset at the factory (WhisperKOOL) to 55°F. It can be
adjusted by the customer between 50°F and 70°F (in 1°F increments).
Cooling Operation
Cooling is activated once the bottle probe senses a temperature that is 1°F
greater than the setpoint. The controller then energizes the compressor relay
which activates the compressor. The evaporator and condenser fans operate with
the compressor. The unit provides cooling until the bottle probe senses that
the setpoint has been reached.
At this point, the compressor relay is de-energized, which stops the
compressor. The evaporator and condenser fans will continue to run for one
minute to reintroduce any moisture from the evaporator coil and reduce the
head pressure.
Humidity Features
The Fdc parameter can be increased to allow the evaporator and condenser fans
to run for a longer period of time after the compressor turns off, allowing
more moisture to be reintroduced into the wine cellar.
Anti-Short Cycle
The Anti-Short Cycle ensures that the compressor will remain off for a period
of three minutes after the unit has reached the setpoint to allow the pressure
in the refrigeration unit to equalize prior to starting the compressor.
Anti-Frost Cycle (defrost)
When the evaporator probe senses a temperature of 26°F for five minutes, the
unit will enter an Anti-Frost Cycle. This will shut down the compressor and
allow the evaporator and condenser fans to run to evaporate any frost
accumulation on the coil. The compressor will remain off until the evaporator
coil reaches 40°F, or for a maximum of ten minutes. The unit will then return
to normal operation.
If the evaporator is not above 26°F after the Anti-Frost Cycle has ended, the red error light will display in the upper right corner. The alarm “Ad3” will be recorded in the alarm folder, indicating that the Anti-Frost Cycle timed out. The unit will run for five minutes and then enter another Anti-Frost Cycle. This sequence will continue until the evaporator temperature rises above 26°F.
“Def” will be displayed during the Anti-Frost Cycle. If the cycle is less than five minutes, the controller will prevent the compressor from starting until five additional minutes have elapsed. This is to prevent short cycling of the compressor.
Holding down the UP ARROW button for approximately five seconds manually starts the Anti-Frost Cycle, but only if the evaporator is below 40°F (defrost end temperature). If the evaporator is above 40°F, the display will blink three times and continue normal operation.
Bottle Probe Failure Protection
In the event that a bottle probe should fail, the APST (Advance Product Safety
Technology) will automatically transition the refrigeration compressor cycles
to a pre-determined time series (40 minutes on and 10 minutes off), which will
ensure that the product is kept within a safe temperature range. P1 will be
displayed on the screen until the probe issue is rectified.
Alarms
See “Alarm Codes” in the Controller Functions chart.
ECM Condenser Blower Operation
The condenser blower comes equipped with a temperature sensor that monitors
exhaust air temperatures and adjusts the speed of the blower to provide the
ideal airflow needed to dissipate excess heat. Condenser fan speed will vary
during operation based on the exhaust environment temperatures.
Ambient Temperature
The ambient temperature surrounding the cabinet has a direct effect on the
cooling unit’s ability to cool the cabinet. The ideal temperature range for
which the cabinet will be installed is between 60-85°F. Ambient temperatures
above 85°F will decrease the cooling capacity of the unit. Make sure the
temperature of the room in which the cabinet will be placed is maintained
within the recommended range.
To ensure a consistent temperature, make sure the room temperature does not dip below 55°F.
Ventilation
The cabinet must have adequate ventilation to allow the exhaust side of the
cooling unit to operate correctly. As the unit cools on the inside, condensing
refrigerant creates heat, which will need to dissipate away from the unit on
the outside. Some units have an exhaust fan mounted on top of the cabinet,
which forces air away from the unit vertically. In order to avoid disrupting
the ventilation, do not place anything on top of the cabinet.
WhisperKOOL 2500 Cooling System:
- If your cabinet is not equipped with a front vent, the unit must be placed in an open room.
- Do not install it in a cabinet.
- The rear of the unit should be placed about 2” from the wall.
- There should be about 12” of clearance above the top of the unit and 6” of free space on each side. This will assure proper dissipation of heat and sustained cooling of your wines.

menu. “FDC” will be displayed on the screen. Use the down arrow to access the
following parameters.
Fdc
..oHnuamidity Management/
Enhancement| This parameter is preset to one (1) minute at the factory. This
amount of time should provide adequate relative humidity for the cellar. An
increase in this parameter will keep the fan running long after the compressor
has turned off, reintroducing some of the moisture which was extracted from
the wine cellar during the cooling cycle back into the cellar. (The
WhisperKOOL unit, however, cannot increase the humidity of the cellar.) This
parameter should not be adjusted below 1. Adjustments should be made in
increments of 5, with a maximum of 15 and a minimum of 1. After making any
adjustment to Humidity Enhancement, you should wait a minimum of three days
before making any additional adjustments. This will allow the cellar
sufficient time to acclimate to the new setting.
---|---
PA2| There are no adjustable settings in this parameter.
tab| There are no adjustable settings in this parameter.
Rel| There are no adjustable settings in this parameter.
loc| Change this parameter from “n” to “y” to lock the keyboard from changes
to the setpoint.
ddd| Select one of these numbers to display your preference:
0 = Setpoint
1 = Bottle Probe Temperature
2 = Evaporator Probe Temperature
3 = Condenser Probe Temperature
“CAl”| Use this parameter to calibrate the bottle probe to a known
temperature. This parameter can be adjusted between -12°F and 12°F.
Example: Bottle temperature reading = 58°F
Known temperature reading = 55°F
CA1 parameter setting to match known temperature = -3
TESTING THE REFRIGERATION UNIT
Remember, do not start or plug in your unit for 24 hours after delivery. Many
units are placed on their sides during shipping, which may allow compressor
oil to escape their reservoirs. Premature starting before the oil has had a
chance to resettle can cause damage to the compressor and result in a lack of
cooling.
Before you fill the cabinet with wine, you’ll want to check the operation of
the unit. All cabinets successfully pass quality control at the WhisperKOOL
facility.
Periodically a unit’s cooling system is damaged in transport. Simply turn the
unit on for about one hour and confirm that the temperature is cooling down.
This will prevent the inconvenience of stocking and restocking a damaged unit.
If the unit is not working correctly, contact WhisperKOOL’s Customer Service
Department at info@whisperkool.com.
We will work with you to diagnose the problem and promptly resolve it.
LOADING BOTTLES AND COOL-DOWN PERIOD
Loading Bottles
The cabinet may settle slightly based on the weight of all the bottles. It is
best to spread the loading of bottles evenly throughout the cabinet, starting
on the bottom first. This will prevent the unit from shifting and potentially
knocking the doors out of alignment.
Cool Down Period
When the time comes for you to begin loading wine bottles into your unit,
there are some considerations to be made. The cabinet should be loaded in
stages. We recommend 1/4 of the cabinet per day. This will allow the unit to
achieve more rapid temperature stabilization. Loading all of the wine at once
might overwhelm the cooling system.
During the cool-down period, the system will run constantly, depending on the size of the collection. Slow cooling maintains correct humidity within the cabinet.
NORMAL OPERATION MAINTENANCE
The cooling unit will cycle on and off as needed once the temperature has
stabilized and the initial “cool-down” has been completed.
— Thermostat: Should be 55°F or desired wine temperature.
Maintenance
WhisperKOOL recommends cleaning the condenser filter every three
months.WhisperKOOL recommends vacuuming the condenser fins located in the rear
of the cabinet every three months. A partially obstructed condenser
dramatically reduces the efficiency of the cooling unit.
Monthly:
- Check filters
- Check for unusual noise or vibration
Quarterly:
- Clean filters
o Remove the filter covering the coil
o Wash with warm water
o Dry off the filter by shaking off excess water
o Gently vacuum across the condenser fins behind the filter
o Gently vacuum the evaporator coil

WhisperKOOL in WhisperKOOL’s Owner’s Manual. The Owner’s Manual is shipped
with each Product and if another copy is needed, replacement copies can be
downloaded from WhisperKOOL’s website (www.whisperkool.com) or by contacting
WhisperKOOL directly for a new copy of the Owner’s Manual.
b. It is highly recommended that the End User obtain the assistance of a wine
storage professional.
c. Failing to address all of the variables associated with proper installation
will cause the Product to operate incorrectly and limit both the Product’s
ability to cool and the longevity of the Product itself.
d. The limited warranty card should be completed and promptly returned by the
End User to WhisperKOOL to ensure limited warranty registration and
confirmation of the date of purchase.
e. The End User is responsible for all risks and costs of installation of the
Product, including but not limited to all labor costs as well as the cost of
any additional parts required for the proper and complete installation of the
Product. The End User is responsible for all risks and costs of removing the
Product if limited warranty work is required.
f. The Product cannot operate at its optimum capacity if the airflow is
constricted by ducting or venting the exhaust side of the Product into a
location with inadequate ventilation.
4. MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
It is the End User’s responsibility to clean off any accumulated dust, lint,
or other debris from the front and rear intake grills; failure to do this on a
regular basis will restrict the airflow and may affect the Product’s ability
to function properly. Periodically cleaning the Product’s vents will help
assure maximum cooling efficiency. The drain tube must also be checked and
kept clean and free of debris and mold to maintain proper performance.
Mold is a natural living organism in the environment. It exists in the air in
the form of microscopic spores that move in and out of buildings through
doors, windows, vents, HVAC systems, and anywhere else that air enters. Once
it is discovered, the mold must be addressed quickly and appropriately.
Delayed or improper treatment of mold issues can result in costly and
reoccurring repairs. If the End User suspects a mold problem, it is always
best to hire a qualified and experienced mold remediation specialist.
5 . ADDITIONAL END-USER RESPONSIBILITIES
