Magic Chef Wine Cooler Reviews

I purchased the unit from Home Depot on 1/30/16 for $453.00 and it never really cooled well but quit working on 1/5/17. I tried to place a warranty report online but the model number was not listed in the drop down. Just got the run around. Recommend saving your money and buying another brand.

I redid my kitchen a few years ago and at that time I purchased the Magic Chef Wine Beverage Cooler Model #MCWBC77DZC. After 3 years it began to lose temperature. Both the upper and lower were set for the lowest temperature which was 37 degrees. It gradually creeped up and when I asked a local appliance repair company about possibly repairing it, I was told it probably was the compressor and would not be cost effective. So I bought another one from Home Depot 16 months ago. Well guess what, the same thing just started happening. I'm unfortunately purchasing a 3rd one, because the custom kitchen has a custom opening and to rectify it, is not feasible. However, I am purchasing the 3 year warranty for an additional cost of $80. I don't expect it to last that long though. It looks great; but looks aren't everything. I wish I could change to another model, but it's not practical.

Mechanically - a nice design for rack adjustment etc. Operationally -- poor... very poor. Maximum coolest temperature when unit was brand new was 39 degrees which isn't overly cold. In fact, this is the max coldest setting. Unit quit cooling 18 months after purchase! Just in time for the 12 month warranty to be expired. Service department simply referred me to 3rd party service company which promptly determined over phone that unit is not worth the diagnostic costs much less further costs to repair. They suggested to toss unit and buy a good brand instead!!! Magic Chef is JUNK!~

I bought the Dual Zone Wine Cooler Model#MCWBC77DZC from Home Depot 11/28/2014... To my surprise the cooler just stop working and won't get cool at all. Called a repairman to come service the cooler, and it is too expensive to repair, he told I'm better off buying anther cooler. Call the manufacturer, and they were quick to ask when did I purchase the product, just to tell me it's not covered. If you're looking to buy a Wine Cooler DO NOT BUY MAGIC CHEF OF ANY KIND... A TOTAL PIECE OF JUNK!

I bought a Magic Chef wine cooler model MCWBC77DZC 16 months ago. It does no longer work. The repair company said is a Freon leak. To repair will cost about $650. It is unacceptable that a unit like this that was used normally has such deficiency. I see many other complaints about the same very issue. The company should recall this product.

I purchased a Magic Chef wine cooler (model MCWBC77DZC) a little over 6 years ago. I had a problem with the cooler not cooling the wine to the preset temperature. I had a repairman come out only to tell me it was a coil problem and Magic Chef does not sell the part and the unit can't be repaired. The unit cost about $600. I called Magic Chef and spoke to customer service. They basically offered zero help and little empathy. I told the customer service person that it cost almost $100 a year for this product if I had to replace it now. She could really care less that I am forced to buy a new unit. If this is the attitude Magic Chef has toward its customers combined with poor quality I could not think of a reason why I or anyone else would purchase any of their products ever.

On 11/08/2014 I purchased a Magic Chef Wine and Beverage Center. Because our bar refrigerator had over 20 years of service and door came of hinges so I decided to purchase a newer more efficient unit. What a mistake that was. We plugged it in on 12/24/2014. Soon after I noticed that the lower zone was not keeping the temperature I had set on. On 4/13/12015 I placed a call to Magic Chef and explained the situation. They contacted a local refrigeration repair co. They came, saw the issues and ordered a new control board and was put in last week. Not even a week later the problem came back.
