Gaggenau does not publish what each message means; it is information for the technician. Gaggenau wine cooler display · also shown as Self-test What to do when Self-test result shows on the wine cooler ### Kind of code Control board and display The electronics that read the sensors and switch the cooling, the fans and the lights have reported a problem with themselves or lost touch with the display.
