The BREEZAIRE WKCE wine cellar cooling unit is a compact design with cold air discharge on the bottom of the unit, which makes it ideal to be installed in cabinets. Because of the configuration the WKCE series wine refrigeration units are not rated for specified number of cubic feet.
Electronic Series - Digital Readout
Dimensions: 18"W x 10½"H x 16½"D
BTUH (BTU's per Hour): 1060
Electrical Req: 115V/3 amps
Color: Tan
*Main image shows the unit with the optional bottle probe.
Note: Cord inside cellar is standard configuration
Although the cooling units are rated for various size rooms, the thermal load may require a larger sized cooling unit. Thermal load may be affected by glass in the cellar, room positioning or other factors. Please let a Rosehill Wine Cellar rep make some suggestions for you if needed.
***** Additional Information *****
The Breezaire WKCE series wine cellar cooling units are not rated for specified number of cubic feet. They are intended for cabinets and other constricted enclosures. Ask our Breezaire specialists for details.
The Breezeway WKCE wine cellar cooler comes with Digital Electronic (Sentry III) (WKCE Model).
The WKCE Models have a digital electronic (Sentry III) thermostat that adds additional safety and convenience features:
- Large, easy to read, green LED display.
- Accurate, easy to adjust (no tools needed) readable set points with continuous reading of enclosure temperature or displaying of set point when changing enclosure temperatures.
- Specialized power outage protection.
- Controls temperature by enclosure air sensors or optional bottle probe.
The bottle probe is an option, please specify at time of ordering if you would like it.
The Compact units can be configured with hot air blowing out the top of the unit as opposed to at the back which is standard. The fresh air intake is still needed at back of unit so plenty of room is needed for air circulation or perhaps have wall cut out to adjacent space.
The Compact units can also be ordered with "cord down".
Please ensure you select these options from above when ordering your cooling unit. Both of these items are considered as "special order" and deem the cooling unit not returnable upon ordering.
If you are purchasing this cooling unit as a replacement within a wine cabinet, please look at the current serial number/model number. If there is either a "D" or an "R", example WKD1060, then the cooling unit has potentially been post-factory modified by a wine cabinet maker. You may want to go back to the company that sold the cabinet to buy a compatible replacement. Alternatively, our cooling unit may work; but may or may not require a local craftsman/technician to adapt the new cooling unit for your wine cabinet.
You may also want to look at the Cellar Pro line which is specifically designed for wine cabinets and allows for zero clearance at back of unit.
We would be happy to answer any questions about our cooling units to assist you in your purchase.

Every Breezaire ® Wine Cooling System Features:
Adjustable Temperature ...
The ideal temperature for storing and aging wine is between 50° and 60° Fahrenheit. Each Breezaire ® wine cellar cooling system includes an adjustable thermostat that makes it possible for the user to precisely control the conditions in the wine cellar. When initially bringing the temperature down to the desired level and in maintaining the target temperature, the Breezaire ® wine cellar cooling system produces a gentle stream of cool air - never a blast of cold air that could subject the wine to abrupt temperature changes.
Please note that where a bottle probe is available, it must be ordered separately.
Automatic Humidity Control...
Humidity must be present in the wine cellar to prevent cork and label deterioration. The Breezaire cooling system is designed to maintain relative humidity in the range of 50 to 75 %,
Vibration Free Operation...
All of Breezaire's ® wine cellar cooling systems are designed and engineered reduce vibration. They are hand assembled in Breezaire's U.S. factory, ensuring perfect assembly with each and every unit.
Ultra Quiet Operation...
Breezaire wine cellar cooling systems perform their task quietly and unobtrusively to preserve the atmosphere of isolation from the outside world that makes a visit to the wine cellar a unique experience.
Attractive metal cabinet...
An attractive metal cabinet that blends in with the decor of your cellar area and can be flush mounted to any wall.
Ease Of Installation...
Breezaire's most popular wine cellar cooling systems are completely self-contained modules that are simply mounted in a wall and connected to a standard 115AC source (230V/50Hz also available as special order). No plumbing, complicated wiring or special procedures including the on-site installation of refrigerant are required, but you may want to prepare for a drain line. (Split system requires professional installation by a licensed refrigeration technician).
Units are shipped from the factory fully charged and ready for use when mounted in a wall and connected to 115 AC volt source.
TRICKY APPLICATION...
The 3000 series and larger can be adjusted to "Cold Air Up" within the wine cellar if only low mounting on the wall is available. Please note the units can not just sit on the floor as you still need access to the drain line underneath the unit. Cold air up/low mounting is not applicable to all cellar environments and not desirable since hot air rises; you are best to speak to one of our representatives prior to ordering . This option is $35, you may also need to make some grill adjustments on site.
The Breezaire units can also be flush mounted to the cellar side or partially mounted into the room, whereas most other cooling units require proper installation only.
Electrical Requirements...
All Breezaire wine cellar cooling units come 115V. 60Hz for North American power consumption.
A dedicated 15 amp circuit (units up to 4000 BTUs) or 20 amp circuit (units from 6000-8000 BTUs) is strongly recommended.
A few models are available for European electrical requirements in 230V, 50Hz. Please see the WKL2150, WKL3350, WKCE2150 and both the Split Systems (WKSL2150 & WKSL3350).
Please enquire about product price and shipping cost to your country.
If you require the cord out the back of the cooling unit, (plugging into room in adjacent warm space) please specify at time of ordering.

All Breezaire wine cellar cooling systems are:
- Designed to deliver superior performance
- Constructed using only the highest quality components.
