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 coolerKind of codeTemperature 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.

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.
Check the zone temperatures on the column's own display.
Make sure every door is fully closed and the column is not in Cooling Off mode (oF on the display).
Check that the vents inside are not blocked by bottles and that the column is away from a heat source.
If a zone keeps rising, move the most valuable bottles somewhere cool and dark and book a visit.
