Check the setting of the named zone. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How long should I wait when my Bertazzoni says a zone is too cold? Bertazzoni says 12 hours. If the message is still there after that, book a visit. ### Why can't I set my Bertazzoni lower zone warmer? When the upper zone is below 54°F, the lower zone is limited to 50°F or colder. Raise the upper zone first. ### Can a too-cold zone harm my wine? Slightly cold storage slows aging but is rarely harmful. A zone far below its setting should still be checked, since a stuck control could keep pushing it colder. --- **[Read on the site: Bertazzoni zone too cold: one compartment is below its setting](https://winecoolerrepair.center/error-codes/bertazzoni-zone-too-cold/)** **[Book a visit with WineCoolerRepair.center](https://winecoolerrepair.center/schedule/)**
