HWD524 is the dual-zone flagship of the 5 Class wine line, and running two temperatures from one variable speed compressor creates a load characteristic worth understanding. The compressor has to satisfy whichever zone is calling hardest, so a problem in the colder zone — a drifting sensor that under-reports, for example — makes the whole machine work harder and can be misread as a compressor problem. We test each zone sensor independently before drawing conclusions about the sealed system.
Key Features
- 24" dual-zone wine refrigerator
- Two independently controlled temperature zones
- Variable speed compressor with convection cooling
- Stainless interior and exterior on 5 Class builds
Most Common Issues on This Model
01
Upper and lower zones converging on the same temperature
02
Single-zone sensor drift while the other zone stays accurate
03
Compressor holding high stage to satisfy the colder of the two zones
