# Dacor abnormally high temperature alert in the SmartThings app

When the Dacor column is connected to SmartThings, the app raises an abnormally high temperature alarm if the temperature inside becomes abnormal.

## What Abnormally high temperature actually means.

When the Dacor column is connected to SmartThings, the app raises an abnormally high temperature alarm if the temperature inside becomes abnormal. It often reaches your phone before anyone notices a change at the cabinet, which makes it the earliest warning that the collection is warming.

What to do when Abnormally high temperature 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.

### Make Dacor

## Before you book, in this order.

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

01

Check the zone temperatures on the column's own display.

02

Make sure every door is fully closed and the column is not in Cooling Off mode (oF on the display).

03

Check that the vents inside are not blocked by bottles and that the column is away from a heat source.

04

If a zone keeps rising, move the most valuable bottles somewhere cool and dark and book a visit.

### 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

This alert is not the door alarm, which has its own entry in the app. It is also not the Self Check result, which the manual describes as detecting abnormal operation rather than temperature.

## Questions about Abnormally high temperature.

### Can I clear Abnormally high temperature myself?

Check the zone temperatures on the column's own display. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### My phone says abnormally high temperature but the Dacor display looks normal. Why?

The app may be reporting a zone that warmed and has since recovered, for example after a long door opening. Check each zone's display and keep an eye on the app for repeats.

### What should I check first when the Dacor high temperature alert arrives?

The doors, Cooling Off mode, blocked vents and nearby heat. Dacor's troubleshooting lists an overloaded column that blocks the vents as a cause of warm temperatures.

### Do I need Wi-Fi for this Dacor alert?

Yes. It comes through the SmartThings app, so the column must be connected to your home network.
