A 1024WC in service today has been holding wine at temperature for around two decades, which is a genuinely good run for any compressor appliance. Units at this age are diagnosed the old way — no error codes, just direct testing of the thermostat, the starting parts and the seal — and it is often surprising how little it takes to put one back into reliable service.
