What Over Temp
actually means.

KitchenAid gives this alert when either zone of its 24-inch undercounter wine unit rises above the preset range. Its product page adds that a cabinet above 70°F for more than 4 hours means the alarm is telling you service is needed.

What to do when Over Temp shows on the wine cooler

Kind 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.

Usually leads toWine cooler thermostat and sensor repair

Testing and replacing the thermostat or the temperature sensors that tell a wine cooler when to cool, when the cabinet runs too cold, too warm or back and forth.

Shows up asWine Cooler Error Code

A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

Before you book,
in this order.

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

01

Press Reset Alarm to stop the flashing, then make sure the door is closed and the base grille is not blocked.

02

Check each zone with a thermometer; if one is near room temperature, move your best bottles somewhere cool and dark.

03

Give a zone that warmed after a long door opening or a big restock several hours with the door shut.

04

If the light comes back after a reset with the door shut, book a visit.

What not to do

Over Temp does not say which part has failed, and it is not the door alarm, which has its own pattern. If the unit is still warm when you reset it, KitchenAid has the light come back every 4 hours, so a repeat is expected until the cause is fixed.

Questions
about Over Temp.

Can I clear Over Temp myself?
Press Reset Alarm to stop the flashing, then make sure the door is closed and the base grille is not blocked. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Does the beeping stop by itself on a KitchenAid Over Temp alert?
The sound stops once the temperature is back in range, but the light keeps flashing until you press Reset Alarm. That way you still know it happened.
Why does the Over Temp light keep coming back on my KitchenAid wine cooler?
If the zone is still warm when you reset it, the light returns every 4 hours. That repeat is the unit telling you the cause has not gone away.
Can a blocked grille cause Over Temp on a KitchenAid undercounter wine cooler?
Yes. A unit built in under the counter has to vent at the front, so a rug, toe kick trim or boxes stacked in front of the grille can make it run warm.
