 Hey guys shave every 1,000 here today we have one of these little wine coolers Okay, we're gonna talk a little bit about it how we got it and a little bit We're gonna touch a little bit on how how it works. So Join me and let's check this thing out together. We have this little wine cooler here Monkey's mother gave it to us. She said it didn't get very cold Kind of stayed in the 50s or whatever. I don't think there's really anything wrong with it She said it didn't it didn't cool down like it should but a lot of people don't understand an Actual wine cooler. This is not a refrigerator. It's just a wine cooler Normally you want your wine to be around 55 degrees right in there 55 degrees. You don't want it in the 40s You know, so that's why they they used to keep their wine in sellers wine sellers and keep around 55 degrees down on a good wine seller Or you know when you got in the basement of an old home or whatever you can tell it's like a lot colder Unless you know you've furnished it and made it like the rest of the house. He didn't everything but normally it'll You know it summertime. It'll stand around 55 57 degrees ish Depending and also she doesn't like to run her air conditioner very much these things these these thermoelectric is what it is These thermoelectrics, they don't have a pump like a refrigerator. Okay So a little bit on how it works it's got like a heat pump in it and Right mounted to the back of the heat pump. Okay There's an aluminum bike device with fins. That's called a heat sink All this thing really does is pull the hot air out of the inside pulls it out Out the back. Okay. That's pretty much really in a sense. It's kind of what does it does a little bit more But you know now this is not gonna be real scientific like like leather reviews and stuff. I Don't have a thermometer that can check this but it does have a built-in one right there Okay. Now on the back of these also really all you got to fan running in this thing, right? So on the back there is a filter and I notice the filter is dirty and But first we're gonna plug this in Okay, and we're gonna see what the temperature is right now in it and Then I'll spin it around and I'll show you how to change that filter. So let's get this plugged in Well, actually, it's it's a washable filter. Okay, so you just take it out and you just kind of hose it off Just kind of like a black and air conditioner filter. You'll see what I'm talking about and you just wash it off with with water Or compressed air if you happen to have an air compressor, but I noticed it was pretty dirty. So let's see what we've got here All right, right now Get you down here so you can have a look at that whoa Okay, right now. I don't know if you're seeing that it is 72 degrees see that guys Let's make sure it's turned all the way down Okay, it only goes down to 54 now. There's nothing wrong with that because you they say perfect wine temperature the ideal wine temperatures 55 degrees so That's telling me why it doesn't go lower than 54 and I I think I heard her saying something about it doesn't go lower than that What's not supposed to it's a it's a wine cooler. Okay, so right now it's a 72 degrees And it the the fan is running So let's spin you around here Spin this around Right here now This exhaust out through this filter right here. That's a filter. I was talking about okay And that's what where the warm air from the inside comes out of okay now Look how that's that's really really dirty, right? so Let's take this This filter out See that's even dirty in there, and I heard the fans speed up I know you couldn't hear but see there's the inside and here is the outside now What I'm going to do is I'm going to take this right now, and I'm going to go And I'm not going to blow the water this way. I'm going to take the little nozzle the hose on the Out there at the kitchen sink, and I'm going to Blow it back that way and we'll get more out of it that way or you can you can blow it out Was compressed air But I want to use water And we're going to come back and we're going to put this in there Okay, and then we'll see what we can get the temperature to go down to hopefully it'll go down around between 54 and 56 hopefully now a lot of this since really doesn't have a pump a lot of it has to do with how cold or Hot your house is to if your house is 80 degrees inside because your air conditioner quit working or something for a couple days This thing not gonna work. It's not gonna work worth a damn you might you might get it to come down a little bit But you know because then all you're really doing is the hotter it is the ambient temperature and wherever you're at the hotter It is the hotter this is going to be inside like I said, it's not a refrigerator. It doesn't refrigerate It just sucks the hot air out so you would be essentially just kind of circulating the warm air So if you got one of these and it doesn't doesn't want to go down below 55 or 56 you're okay There's nothing wrong with it. I don't think there's anything wrong with this, but we'll find out So I'm gonna hose this off and I'll be right back with you Okay, guys, we're back. I lured you down a little bit here I've got this all cleaned out See all I did was run some warm while hot water whatever with the hose down through there Out of the kitchen sink let this dry completely. I did wipe this off a little bit the best I could I didn't really want to fire up my air compressor just for that but as you can see that's a lot cleaner and Also, you can't see it, but inside there's the fins of the heat sink us Tony bow up inside there Sometimes they can get clogged Same with the refrigerator because it's think about it guys if this gets called see this is blowing air out here. Okay, and When you put this on here that gets clogged you know it's It can't blow out and what it's doing is bringing the warm air from inside your house Even if you have your air on at 70 degrees this thing can't get no colder than that Because it's only gonna be it can bring in the warm air, but it can't exhaust it out of here So it actually makes it worse if this is clogged. So let's spin this around I'll show you a couple other things to check for if yours not calling right So let's go ahead and turn this around here See what we're all right. We're down to 60 degrees over here 60 degrees So it's already dropped what 12 degrees, okay? And it has a light there. It's got a light inside. Whoops There's the light button right there The light inside and let's see. Oh Yeah, yeah, it's uh Yeah, it's cool. It's cool. Like I said, I don't have a thermometer or anything to check it also Check your seal when you clean these keep these seals clean the same way with your refrigerator especially these Because since it's not a refrigerator It's thermoelectric. You want to make sure this has a good tight seal all the way around that. Okay? You're gonna want it to seal good all the way around here. So let's close this up and See it is already went up seven degrees. I don't know if you can see that or not Just having it open that little bit So what we're going to do is I'm gonna give it. Oh We say let's give it Whoops Oh See it drop down to 65 already So let's give it another half an hour 45 minutes and we'll come back and check this out. Okay? Okay, guys We got this thing down to 54 and that's all the farther. It's supposed to go on this model I guess, you know some of the bigger ones are they make they do make them that will go down to like 45, but They they say, you know the ideal temperature is 55 degrees on wine. So there we go. We've got whoops 54 degrees and As you can see you can't set it any lower than that because they you know, so there you go and What I've got here It works on the kind of like the same basis as An air cooled engine. Let's say your lawn mower or your weed eater This is a this is a head. I took this apart on one of my previous videos. My niece is a Troy built Weed eater. All right. Now as you can see on this head You know, this is the top of your engine All right, there's your spark plug hole now. This has got a plastic shroud around it now inside this one It had a little fan. Okay. Now if you don't have a fan your flywheel that spins on the engine it will have Fins fins on it shaped a certain way. So it blows air around and It blows it into that shroud and around these fins. These are cooling fins Okay, and that's how the engines keep cool without overheating and without having to put any antifreeze or whatnot in it That's how they work. This is essentially the same way. It's got the fan It's got the heat sink which has the fins on it. It's bringing air past there and Second the air out of here. So Anyway, just kind of a quick, you know, that's kind of how they how they work So it's it's not it's not like a pump. So that's why you can't hear this thing running. I can I can hear the fan But that's It's actually quieter than my PC which a lot of the desktop PCs Not only do they have a fan in there. They also have a heat sink. Okay. Now they have a heat sink Kind of like this Which keeps it cool inside there to keep all the electronics cool So that's kind of how that works same way with your desktop PC. You got a fan running. You got a little heat heat sink Most of them do even laptops. I know my HP all in one computer. It has a small heat sink in it by the fan So but it is down to 54 degrees and that's what this is supposed to go down to so there's nothing wrong with it We're fine. I would say one thing Well, you know, they can't drink wine anymore, but they used to like like have their wine and you know, you keep it in here And it keeps it keeps it cold, you know, like so if you buy a nice bottle of wine You get get a high dollar bottle of wine you get a good deal on it You don't want to put it in your fridge for say Thanksgiving special occasion or something like that It's it I am not sure what it does with it I'm not a connoisseur a wine connoisseur by no means, but I know a little bit about it What you want to do is keep it around 55 degrees. Get you one of these They got this pretty cheap. I think a couple years ago. They bought it for like 50 bucks 60 bucks or something like that But you know keep it in something like like this keeping around 55 degrees in it. It'll last a lot longer Also, don't put this inside a cabinet. It can't get enough air. It's not gonna work Right. Don't put it clear back up against the wall because then it can't you know Your your intake, you know your hose around where the fan or or it's sucking air in and then pushing it out through the filter Or sucking it in through the filter. I mean, I might have been telling you pushing it out But anyways sucks it in Rotates around and then blows it out through the vents in the back So let's get that straight. I might have said it blows it out, but it doesn't hit it Actually, you know sucks it in through the fan through that filter and then blows it out through the fence And if that fan is clogged it can't bring any air in so it's not want to be able to take any air out of this thing So that's how they work basically. It's pretty much in a nutshell It's nothing, you know, like I said, it's not a compressor like your refrigerator's got and You know stuff like that This you know, it does have a little Thermometer or thermostats out here that let's see you got it set at 57, you know one gets to 57 You know, it'll it'll shut the fan off and then if it jumps up 58, it'll kick fan back on So anyway, that's that's pretty much how it works. So You know and and you're not gonna keep this. Oh, yeah, it's nice in there You're not gonna put, you know, see it jumps up really fast 58 But you're not going to use it like a fridge and I'm gonna expect to put beer in here pop or Water and expect it to be nice and cool like when it comes out of the fridge because it's not a refrigerator. It's just a cooler so But so you put your wine in there and you know, you're not gonna be getting in there and out of there Every ten minutes. So it's you know, it's gonna stay since already back down to 56 So this is working fine. So anyway guys, there you go I just like said, I wanted to show you this to kind of explain to you how also the air cooled engines work like Like your weed here or your your lawnmower, you know, that's on the same basis it just runs air over them cooling fins and It exhaust the hot air and brings in cooler air So this is kind of on the same basis, you know But it's pretty much suckin the hotter. How you know, it's bringing air in fresh air And then run it through the fins and as it as it escapes you can feel it actually pulling The warm air out from inside here. So it doesn't actually refrigerate it. It just cools it down. So there you go guys I want to tell you guys again. Thanks for watching Appreciate it.
