A loose ribbon cable, moisture that reached the touch strip or a brief power surge is checked before a board is condemned. Boards and displays are usually specific to one model, so the number on the label matters here more than anywhere.

## Questions about Filter indicator blinking red.

### Can I clear Filter indicator blinking red myself?

Replace the deodorizer filters; they come in a set of six (RAC00DFAAAA/DA). If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How often do the Dacor wine column filters need changing?

Dacor gives an 18-month life for the deodorizer filter, adding that it varies with conditions of use.

### Will the red Filter light go off by itself?

No. After fitting new filters, hold Deodorizer Reset for 3 seconds to reset the count and clear the light.

### Can an old filter make my Dacor column smell?

It can add to it. Dacor also notes that a smell may simply be natural oak from the wooden racks.
