# ASKO T3: the zone A evaporator sensor is not reading

T3 names the temperature sensor on the zone A evaporator, the cold coil that cools the zone.

## What T3 actually means.

T3 names the temperature sensor on the zone A evaporator, the cold coil that cools the zone. The cabinet uses it to manage cooling and defrost of that coil. T6 and T9 are the same code for the zone B and zone C evaporators.

ASKO wine cooler display · also shown as T6, T9

What to do when T3 shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Temperature sensors

The control has lost a believable reading from one of its thermistors: the probe in a zone, the one on the cold plate or coil, or on some models the one watching the room. With no trustworthy number, the cabinet either chills the bottles far below cellar temperature or lets a zone drift warm. A sensor sitting in frost, pinched behind a rack or unplugged during a move is ruled out before a new one is ordered.

### Usually leads to Wine cooler thermostat and sensor repair

Testing and replacing the thermostat or the temperature sensors that tell a wine cooler when to cool, when the cabinet runs too cold, too warm or back and forth.

### 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.

### Source ASKO WCN311942G Instructions for Use, error notifications

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from ASKO's own guidance for T3 on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Close the notification with X or Confirm and note the time; if the same code is back 3 hours later, the problem is real.

02

Look through the glass for frost building on the back wall of zone A.

03

Book a visit if T3 returns.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [wine cooler thermostat and sensor repair](https://winecoolerrepair.center/services/wine-cooler-thermostat-and-sensor-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

T3 is not the zone air sensor, which is T2. Frost or water in zone A with T3 showing is a result of the sensor, not a separate problem.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about T3.

### Can I clear T3 myself?

Close the notification with X or Confirm and note the time; if the same code is back 3 hours later, the problem is real. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why is there frost in zone A with ASKO T3?

The evaporator sensor helps manage defrost; without it, frost can build on the coil.

### Is ASKO T6 the same as T3?

Yes, for the zone B evaporator; T9 is zone C.

### Can T3 make the zone too cold?

It can upset cooling of that zone. Check it with a thermometer until the visit.
