Convection cooling is what lets an 18″ 5 Class wine cabinet hold an even temperature through its full height, and it also means a stalled fan produces a very particular problem. The cabinet keeps making cold but stops distributing it, so the racks nearest the evaporator run cold while the far end drifts warm. On the HWC518 that signature is worth recognizing because it is easily mistaken for a failing sealed system.
