What keypad locked
actually means.

When you try to change a temperature and the display says keypad locked, the column is refusing input on purpose. The manual's fix is to press Menu together with the Down key for 3 seconds.

What to do when keypad locked shows on the wine cooler

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Fulgor Milano's own guidance for keypad locked on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press Menu and the Down key together for 3 seconds.

02

Make your temperature change once the message clears.

03

Lock the keypad again afterward if you want to prevent accidental changes.

04

If no key responds even after unlocking, book a visit to check the control panel.

Cleared?

The display has gone quiet and the cabinet is back at its setting without a new part. Should the code reappear this week, or the reds start feeling warm again, book a visit and mention that it came back.

What not to do

Keypad locked does not mean the control panel is broken. It is also not Error Code, which reports a functional problem.

What you may
notice with it.

The wine cooler problems keypad locked tends to arrive with. Answer these at the wine cooler before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

A setting someone switched on, often by leaning on the touch panel or left over from the showroom floor, rather than a part that wore out: a demo mode that lights the display and the rack lamps while the cooling never starts, a Sabbath setting that turns off the lights and alarms, a child or control lock that ignores every key press, a reminder that the glass door stood open. The cabinet is fine, and its own keys or its manual switch the mode back off.

In Fulgor Milano's own words

If the “keypad locked” message appear, simultaneously press the keys Menu

Questions
about keypad locked.

Can I clear keypad locked myself?
Press Menu and the Down key together for 3 seconds.
How do I unlock the keypad on my Fulgor Milano?
Press Menu together with the Down key for 3 seconds.
Does keypad locked stop my Fulgor Milano from cooling?
No. It only blocks setting changes; the compartments keep their settings.
My Fulgor Milano ignores temperature changes. Why?
Either the keypad is locked, or the column is still in its first start-up, when the menu cannot change factory settings until the default temperature is reached.

Back to your everyday

Still showing keypad locked?

When you book, copy the code or the blink pattern as the display shows it, add the whole model number, and say whether the bottles still feel cool — a code gives the technician a head start.
