# ASKO P1: the proximity sensor is not working

P1 reports a proximity sensor error.

## What P1 actually means.

P1 reports a proximity sensor error. The proximity sensor lets the display and lights react when someone comes near. ASKO treats it as the one error an owner may choose to stop displaying, since the cabinet works without it.

ASKO wine cooler display

What to do when P1 shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Control board and display

The electronics that read the sensors and switch the cooling, the fans and the lights have reported a problem with themselves or lost touch with the display. A loose ribbon cable, moisture that reached the touch strip or a brief power surge is checked before a board is condemned. Boards and displays are usually specific to one model, so the number on the label matters here more than anywhere.

### Usually leads to Wine cooler control board and display repair

Repairing the electronic control and the touch display that run a wine cooler, from a blank screen or a code to keys that will not respond or a cabinet that will not start.

### Shows up as Wine Cooler Error Code

A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

### Make ASKO

Asko wine coolers looked at where they stand, starting from the temperature the bottles are actually sitting at.
