Le Cache Carolina 2400 Classic #15169
Details
The Carolina 2400 is the right cabinet when a collection has grown past a hundred bottles and you want climate-controlled storage in a living space rather than a basement. It holds 286 bottles across double-deep all-wood racks and pairs that capacity with a CellarPro cooling unit that manages both temperature and humidity, the two conditions that determine whether a cork survives a decade in storage. The slightly distressed cherry finish and crown molding give it furniture-room proportions that work in a dining room, a study or a finished basement without announcing itself as an appliance.
The all-wood interlock racks are built to 3.8-inch slots that handle oversized bottles, and the SB/0™ top-vent design means the cabinet can sit flush against a wall without the clearance gaps that rear-exhaust units need. Double-pane tinted glass and foil-backed insulation seal in the environment, while the CellarPro unit’s digital thermostat and adjustable humidity control let you dial in conditions precisely rather than accepting a preset range.
Best For
- Moving a 200+ bottle collection of Bordeaux and Napa off a kitchen cooler that doesn’t control humidity
- Fitting a full-height wine cabinet into a dining room remodel where it needs to read as furniture rather than equipment
- Storing large-format and oversized bottles alongside standard 750ml bottles without reconfiguring the racking
- Outfitting a second home with a freestanding cabinet that holds a serious collection and handles ambient temperature swings without constant attention
Features
- SB/0™ Zero-Clearance Technology: The cabinet can sit flush against a wall with no rear air gap required. Heat exhausts through top vents, which matters when placing a unit in a finished room, alcove or between built-ins.
- CellarPro cooling unit (US-made): Three unit options are available — the 1800QTL-ECX, 1800QT-ECX and 1800XT-ECX — with running amp draws of 2.4, 2.9 and 3.0 amps respectively. The quieter QTL model is the default recommendation for living spaces. All run on standard 115V/60Hz.
- Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: Higher R-value per inch than standard polyurethane foam, reducing thermal load and compressor cycling — relevant for rooms that see temperature swings.
- Adjustable humidity control with electronic display: Manages both temperature and humidity actively. Includes Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes plus audible and visual alarms if conditions drift outside set parameters.
- Double-deep universal racking: 256 racked slots at 3.8-inch spacing accommodate standard Bordeaux and larger-format bottles side by side, with approximately 30 bottles of additional bulk space. All-wood interlock racks are included.
- High-performance air filtration system with top-view filter access — reduces airborne contaminants inside the cabinet.
- Stainless-steel bar pulls with keyed security lock on both doors
- Warranty coverage: 5 years on the cooling unit, 2 years on the full cabinet, with an optional extended warranty available. The cooling unit warranty is notably longer than most competitors in this category.

What These Specs Mean
- Running vs. Startup Amps: Startup amps determine the minimum circuit breaker rating your installation requires; running amps reflect the ongoing draw during normal operation and affect monthly energy cost.
- Three Cooling Unit Options (QTL / QT / XT): Each model is rated for a different ambient temperature range — the thermal load guide matches the correct unit to your specific room conditions, whether that is a finished dining room or an unconditioned basement.
- 3.8 Inch Racked Slots: Wider than standard wine rack spacing, these slots accommodate larger-format bottles such as Burgundy and Champagne without forcing or removing dividers.

Bottle Capacity
BOTTLE CAPACITY
Please note:
(1) We count the top of the racks as 1 row when counting rows in our racks.
(2) Every slot in the racks is 3 3/4" and sized to fit oversized Burgundy and most Champagne-size bottles.
(3) Bulk storage is located atop the racks (except for the first row atop the racks). Bulk storage capacity is based on Bordeaux-size bottles.
(4) Total capacity is the sum of racked plus bulk capacity, with double-deep storage in all cases except the Contemporary Credenza (which is single-deep). Usable capacity may be lower by 2-3 bottles when the first few cells under the cooling unit are left empty for proper air circulation.

Should Have its Own Tab
Jack W.| 11/21/2014 12:00:00 am
Carolina model that we bought does not stand out on the [Le Cache] web site. It is included with another model. [For this reason,] when we were shopping, we did not even notice it was there until being on the site many times. It should have it's own tab so it is properly represented.
Ordered: Carolina Wine Cabinet

We ordered the Carolina Cabinet. I placed a call to IWA and was extremely impressed with the amount of customer service I was given. Everything about the cabinet, operation details and shipping were explained. I just received the cabinet and the shipping company was fantastic and extremely careful about bringing the cabinet into the house. The cabinet is as beautiful in person as it is in the photo. It is extremely quiet. Thank you IWA for making this experience a wonderful one.
Excellent wine cabinet
