KitchenAid Wine Cooler

This model is specifically engineered for built-in, undercounter installation. While it features a finished look, it requires proper ventilation clearances for built-in integration, so it is not designed to operate as a freestanding unit in an open space.

The cooler features two independent zones that allow you to set different temperatures simultaneously. You can keep your white wines chilled and ready to serve in the top zone (42–54°F), while maintaining a slightly warmer environment in the bottom zone (42–64°F) for aging or serving reds.

The Satinglide racks are optimized for standard Bordeaux-style bottles. While they can hold many standard shapes, larger format bottles like Champagne or wider Pinot Noir bottles may reduce the total capacity of 46 bottles because they take up more width and depth on the shelves.

This system acts as a safeguard for your collection. It continuously tracks the internal climate and will alert you if the temperature rises above safe levels, helping you prevent spoilage before it happens.

No, the LED lighting is designed to be motion-activated, meaning it illuminates as you approach the unit and turns off when you walk away. This helps save energy and prevents unnecessary light exposure, which can degrade wine over time.

This specific KitchenAid model comes with a fixed hinge configuration. You should confirm the swing direction matches your cabinetry layout before installation, as the door is not reversible.
