Breezaire WKCE 1060 – Compact, Reliable Cooling for Wine Cabinets

The Breezaire WKCE 1060 is a compact, high-performance wine cabinet cooling unit designed for collectors who need dependable, quiet, and precise climate control in smaller storage spaces. Built to cool up to 140 cubic feet, it maintains stable temperature and humidity levels without the noise or footprint of larger systems.

Precise Temperature Control

The WKCE 1060 keeps your cabinet within the ideal temperature range for proper wine aging. It can cool up to 25°F below the ambient temperature on the exhaust side, ensuring your wine stays at a safe, stable temperature even when the surrounding environment runs warm. This prevents sudden temperature swings that can damage flavor and aroma.

Automatic Humidity Management

Humidity is maintained automatically. The unit balances natural moisture removal and addition, using evaporative moisture from a small porous water container in drier conditions—no additional humidifiers required. This helps protect cork integrity and prevents label deterioration.

Compact, Quiet, and Low-Vibration Design

With bottom cold-air discharge, the WKCE 1060 fits perfectly in cabinets and other tight spaces. It operates with minimal noise and vibration, allowing wine sediment to settle properly while keeping your cellar peaceful.

Easy Installation and Smart Features

Key features include the Sentry III digital thermostat, user-adjustable temperature settings, and built-in power outage protection for added peace of mind. Installation is simple—just plug the unit into a standard 115V AC outlet, with no special wiring or plumbing needed.

Reliable and Long-Lasting

Overall, the Breezaire WKCE 1060 is a reliable, compact cooling solution built specifically for wine cabinets. It’s ideal for collectors who want quiet, precise performance and long-term protection for their wine.

Replacement and Upgrade

The WKCE 1060 is a direct replacement for the Breezaire WKC 1060 and OEM 1060 models, making it a perfect upgrade or drop-in replacement.

Scale Up for Larger Cabinets

Looking for extra cooling capacity? The Breezaire WKCE 2200 delivers the same quiet performance with increased power for larger wine cabinets.

Breezaire Modifications

List of modifications

BLACK Series Cooling Units

BLACK Series units are special order and require 2–4 weeks for production. Once manufacturing has begun, returns or cancellations cannot be accepted.

This is a special-order modification and makes the unit non-returnable.

Upgrade: Cord Out the Back of the Unit

The standard Breezaire configuration places the power cord on the wine cellar side. If your installation requires the cord to exit into an adjacent space, you may upgrade to have the cord come out the back.

This modification is a special-order request and makes the unit non-returnable. A hole must be made in the back grill for cord placement. The cord will be located at the bottom right on the back of the unit.

Please Note: Adding this option may extend production and delivery by 3–4 weeks.

This is a special-order modification and makes the unit non-returnable.

Optional Modification: Power Cord Out the Bottom Rear (WKL Series)

This option relocates the power cord to exit from the bottom rear of the unit. This is a special-order modification.

This is a special-order modification and makes the unit non-returnable.

 

Optional Modification: Power Cord Out the Bottom Rear (WKCE 1060 & WKCE 2200)

This option relocates the power cord to the bottom rear of WKCE 1060 and WKCE 2200 units. This is a special-order modification.

This is a special-order modification and makes the unit non-returnable.

 

Standard - Cord Out The Front

Modified - Cord Out The Bottom

Modified - Cord Out The Exhaust

Optional Modification: Hot Exhaust Air Up (WKCE Models)

If your installation requires top exhaust, you can add this optional modification. This directs hot exhaust air upward instead of out the rear. Adequate space for fresh air intake is still required. For example, wine cabinets must still have space behind them for proper airflow.

Please Note: Adding this option may extend production and delivery by 3–4 weeks.

This is a special-order modification and makes the unit non-returnable.

 

Standard - Hot Air Out Rear

Special Order - Hot Air Out Top (HAU)

Rear Drain Fitting

An optional rear drain fitting is available for installations requiring additional condensate control.

Optional Bottle Probe

The bottle probe is available for Breezaire WKL, WKE, and WKC Series units. It is highly recommended when the wine cellar is located in a warm area, as it allows the unit to regulate temperature based on the liquid temperature inside a bottle rather than the ambient air.
