EuroCave problem: standing water and label mold
Hi,
We have a EuroCave Vieillitheque purchased from Wine Enthusiast. We've had it about a year. We were doing an annual cleaning and noticed a couple of things. First, some of the bottles (stored low in the unit on a mass storage shelf) were developing label mold. Second, the integrated shelf at the bottom was accumulating water. The accumulating water was not a matter of balancing the unit--the water stayed even when we tilted the unit serverely forward. So, here's hoping for some insights into this problem with EuroCave. A scan of the web got a couple of hits on the label mold problem with the EuroCave, but no real solution (one person drilled a hole in the shelf--sounded risky to us). TIA for any help. Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday. ciao |

EuroCave problem: standing water and label mold
I have a couple of these units. Have had one for about 10 year the other
for 4 years and have not had same issue. When water did collect it was due to lack of balance...used level and made sure it was level. I think these is a drain in the back buttom...make sure its not clogged. Sorry for issue...suggest you call the wine enthusiast ASAP...they can be a great resource. dick "Barbara S Koe" > wrote in message ups.com... > Hi, > We have a EuroCave Vieillitheque purchased from Wine Enthusiast.

EuroCave problem: standing water and label mold
Thanks, Richard, both for the condolences and the advice. We did check
the drain, but the water is never even getting there. Maybe I should just drink everything this week? :-) ciao |

The unit is designed that the walls are made of aluminum and sweat when the
outside temp is differnet than inside. That is based upon the little hole in rear of unit that holds the charcoal filter. You might want to make sure the doors is sealing correctly. If the hinge screws loosen that might not have a good seal. Therefore that could cause the issue that causes more sweat. Therefore water collects at base.
