# Bertazzoni zone too warm: one compartment is above its setting

The column reports each of its two zones separately, so the message tells you which one is warm.

## What Upper or lower zone too warm actually means.

The column reports each of its two zones separately, so the message tells you which one is warm. Bertazzoni's troubleshooting for warm temperatures asks whether a code is showing, whether the setting is right, whether the condenser is clean, whether the door was open for a long time and whether a large load went in recently.

What to do when Upper or lower zone too warm shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Temperature and alarms

The cooler read a zone well away from its setting and raised an alarm, sometimes showing the warmest figure it reached while the house was empty. The reason may be as small as a door left resting on a bottle neck or a long outage, or as serious as cooling that has stopped. Keep the glass door shut and feel a bottle in the middle of the rack before doing anything else; the alarm is a warning about the wine, not a diagnosis.

### 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.

## Questions about Upper or lower zone too warm.

### Can I clear Upper or lower zone too warm myself?

Note which zone is named and check its setting. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why is only one zone of my Bertazzoni too warm?

Each zone has its own setting and airflow. A warm upper zone with a normal lower zone points to that zone's setting, fan or sensor rather than the whole cooling system.

### Can a dirty condenser make my Bertazzoni zone too warm?

Yes. The manual asks whether the condenser is clean in every warm-temperature check, and recommends cleaning it every six months.

### Is a zone too warm message normal after loading bottles?

It can be, especially after a large load. Give the column a few hours with the door shut before deciding it needs service.
