Bertazzoni wine cooler display · also shown as Check condenser What to do when Check Cond shows on the wine cooler ### Kind of code Fans and airflow A fan the control expected to turn is slow, noisy or still. Inside the cabinet a small fan stirs the air so every rack sits at the same temperature; behind the grille or on the back, another carries heat away from the compressor or the hot side of a thermoelectric module. A bottle nudged against the inner fan guard, ice on a blade and dust packed into the grille are cleared before any motor is replaced. ### Usually leads to Wine cooler fan repair Replacing the fan that circulates air across the racks, or the one that cools the condenser, when a wine cooler warms unevenly, ticks, buzzes or falls silent. ### 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 Bertazzoni Repair visits for Bertazzoni wine coolers that drift warm, run cold or stop answering their controls. ### Source Bertazzoni built-in wine columns user manual (REF18WCP / REF24WCP /23) Bertazzoni REF18WCP and REF24WCP built-in wine columns (/23 series; IX stainless and PR panel-ready, left or right hinge). ## Before you book, in this order.

Switch the column off by holding the Unit button for about 3 seconds. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Where is the condenser on a Bertazzoni wine column? Behind the toe kick cover at the bottom front. A vacuum with a soft brush does most of the work; for heavy dust the cover can come off. ### Can I turn off the Check Cond reminder on my Bertazzoni? Yes. It is off by default, and if someone turned it on, the Off icon in the maintenance settings disables it. The cleaning is still worth doing every six months. ### Why does my Bertazzoni run for long periods? Bertazzoni says long runs are normal in very hot weather, after long door openings or after a big load, and a dirty condenser makes them longer. --- **[Read on the site: Bertazzoni Check Cond: time to clean the condenser](https://winecoolerrepair.center/error-codes/bertazzoni-check-cond/)** **[Book a visit with WineCoolerRepair.center](https://winecoolerrepair.center/schedule/)**
