Why are you not using beads

Joeyjoe21_8

I have to order them...........and im such a dumbass....i never corked the drain hole thats in it! lol

I have been running a wine fridge since Christmas time, and I would have to say that your main problem is the fact your using pucks and not beads. The biggest problem I had when I first started out is the fact that the drain collects water. Yeah so whats the problem. Well I had a tray down the and it molded on me. Now what I do is put a sack of beads in the plug and every Wednesday I take those and put them up on the middle shelf, and put the sack from the middle shelf down on the bottom. Been doing it for six months and I never seem to have to recharge my beads and I chill at a good 64. Now for the slight bit of water that can pool on the bottom I keep those cigars in ziploc bags you get from ordering stogies here, or in a B&M

Well what im having a problem with is as soon as I turn it on, thats when the humidity bounces around...im hoping the beads will help it out

Joeyjoe21_8:

someone posted here not too long ago the main different between a regular generic wine fridge and a vinotemp is the compressor? any info...

Could they/you be referring to Thermoelectric? I could be wrong, but I think that's all you need. It doesn't have to be a vino-temp per say, just needs to be a thermoelectric fridge.

Joeyjoe21_8

yeah thats what i mean...mine isnt thermoelectric..whats the different???

Does anyone have a list of fridges with thermoelectric cooling? I have been scanning craigslist for the past few weeks, and I see a ton on there, but nobody lists what type of cooling they use, and looking through different manufacturers websites takes forever.

Joeyjoe21_8

lol...no offense but i highly doubt anyone has a list like that for ya or going to create a list like that....just google them

well I find the same issue with the humidity...I think the cold air sucks the humidity out of the air...so what I have been doing, at raleys and places they sell big blue blocks of plastic with liquid in it(ice pack)...I have a special place at the bottom of the wine fridge where I get up, put that in the morning, and it pretty much will keep the wine cooler at 70degrees or so..then when I get home, I get the other one out of the freezer and swap them out...takes 2 minutes and perfecto...humiidity stays at 70-72% and temp stays the same
