# Bertazzoni Power Failure: the column lost power for a long time

When power comes back after a long interruption, the Bertazzoni column restarts on its own, sounds a signal if the temperature rose above normal, and shows the highest temperature measured in each compartment for one minute.

## What Power Failure actually means.

When power comes back after a long interruption, the Bertazzoni column restarts on its own, sounds a signal if the temperature rose above normal, and shows the highest temperature measured in each compartment for one minute. After that the display returns to normal while the Alarm button keeps blinking until you acknowledge it.

What to do when Power Failure shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Power

The cooler saw the supply voltage dip, surge or drop out, or is recording that the power was cut while nobody was home. The cause is as often the outlet, a shared circuit, an extension cord or a storm outage as the cooler itself. A breaker that will not hold or a whiff of hot plastic means cutting the circuit at the panel, standing dry and clear of the cooler, then leaving the glass door closed until the technician arrives.

### Usually leads to Wine cooler diagnostic visit

A visit that measures each zone and the room around the cabinet first, then works through the door seal, the airflow, the sensors and the cooling system until one part is named.

### 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)

## Before you book, in this order.

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

01

Read the highest recorded temperatures before they disappear, or press Alarm to show them again.

02

Decide from those figures whether any bottles were exposed to heat for long.

03

Press Alarm to acknowledge the message.

04

If the column does not return to its set temperatures within a day, book a visit.

### Still there?

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

### What not to do

Nothing inside the column has broken when Power Failure shows; the message only reports the outage and its effect. If the display stays dark after power returns, that is a separate power or board problem.

## Questions about Power Failure.

### Can I clear Power Failure myself?

Read the highest recorded temperatures before they disappear, or press Alarm to show them again. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How do I see how warm my Bertazzoni got during the outage?

The display shows the highest recorded temperature for one minute after power returns. Press the blinking Alarm button to see it again.

### Is my wine spoiled after a Bertazzoni Power Failure message?

Look at the highest recorded temperature. A few hours a little above cellar temperature rarely harms wine; days near room heat are a bigger concern.

### Do I need to reset my Bertazzoni settings after a power cut?

No. The column restarts automatically with its settings, and the Alarm button only needs pressing to acknowledge the message.
