Frustrating Edgestar problem

So the Edgestar 28 bottle wine cooler that I ordered arrived yesterday, but I think it has a problem. It runs fine on the coolest setting, but turning it to the warmest setting turns it off completely--light goes out, fan stops running, stops cooling, the works--and I don't think it's a "power switch" function, because the power off happens at a seemingly random point about 2/3 of the way down the dial towards the warmest setting. Once it powers off, it won't power on again. Turning it back to the coolest setting does nothing, unplugging and replugging does nothing. The only way to power it back on again is to turn it to the coolest setting, unplug it, wait five or so minutes, and the plug it in again. However, turning it back towards its warmest setting starts the whole process over again!

I'm planning on calling Edgestar since this is under warranty, but I wanted to know if other Edgestar owners have experienced similar issues and if anyone has any other suggestions. Thanks!
