I didn't find at a resonable price, minimum order 10 pcs etc, but I soldered 2 100u/450V in paralel with those on the board (that have about 110uF on the meter) and no change. Same sound when I connect the peltier. I will search for 2 new 120u/200-250V
Thank you!

New capacitors 120u/250V - same situation. I will not buy any components :) It.s too much for a piece of cheap China board...

Knowing when to quit is a hard skill to learn. It's like walking away from a half-done crossword or jigsaw puzzle.

My mother-in-law once gave me a jigsaw puzzle that was a picture of a pile of pretzels. The puzzle was round with no flat edges or corners. I hated to give up but I did. I was spending so much time on it and finally asked myself, "Why?!"

Hello, Does anyone have experience dealing with EL error codes on Wine Enthusiast coolers? I have checked all the Schottky, caps & diodes and they are all good. The PCB model number is CD-110 B, PCB 80830K2

The unit has a dual-zone controller. The bottom works fine.

I noticed when I power up the unit the heat sink fan ran for a couple of seconds before stopping completely.

Yes, It must be just buggy firmware issue in certain commercial products where the service or repair bug is implemented intentionally. I have encountered such products earlier, many. The stop working in random faulty ways usually after warranty period expires.
