What Self-test result
actually means.
The Vario wine climate cabinets have a self-test started from the main menu. The cabinet checks itself, displays any problem it finds, restarts, and then shows a message for 10 seconds that the test has ended, which you confirm. Gaggenau does not publish what each message means; it is information for the technician.

What to do when Self-test result shows on the wine coolerKind of codeControl 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. 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.
