### Drift, measured over days rather than diagnosed in an afternoon

The one refrigeration product still in this maker's US catalog is asked to do a different job from a refrigerator: hold a narrow band rather than a low temperature, do it without vibration, and do it built into a run where its exhaust has nowhere obliging to go. Its usual complaint is not failure but drift, and a cabinet that reads correctly on the doorstep may still be losing its band at three in the morning. So most of this visit is a logger left in place through a full daily cycle and the reading of what it says.

What this involves

Drift, not failure — measured over days with a logger rather than guessed

Vibration is a specification here, so a fan bearing is a real problem

Exhaust path in the joinery, which is what most drift comes down to

Log the cabinet before deciding anything

A temperature logger left in place through a full daily cycle, because a cabinet that reads correctly when the door is opened may still be drifting overnight.

Check what it exhausts into

The gap above and behind, and whether a later shelf or plinth has closed it. In a fitted run this is the most common reason a wine cabinet cannot hold its band.

Treat vibration as a defect

Fan bearings, compressor mounts and the cabinet's own feet. On this machine a hum nobody would mention on a refrigerator is worth correcting.

### Is a couple of degrees really a problem?

For wine, over months, yes — and it is the reason this cabinet exists rather than a shelf in the refrigerator. It is also why we measure rather than adjust on the basis of one reading.

### It hums more than it used to.

Worth acting on. Vibration is part of this machine's specification, so a fan bearing nobody would mention on a refrigerator is a real repair here.
