# Marvel E1: the ML wine unit sensor is not working

On Marvel’s ML15WSG and ML24WSG wine units, E1 is the temperature sensor alarm.

## What E1 actually means.

On Marvel’s ML15WSG and ML24WSG wine units, E1 is the temperature sensor alarm. The alarm beeps once a second, E1 flashes and the Alarm LED lights. Pressing a key mutes the sound, but the code keeps flashing, and the alarm sounds for 20 seconds every hour until the sensor is fixed.

What to do when E1 shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Temperature sensors

The control has lost a believable reading from one of its thermistors: the probe in a zone, the one on the cold plate or coil, or on some models the one watching the room. With no trustworthy number, the cabinet either chills the bottles far below cellar temperature or lets a zone drift warm. A sensor sitting in frost, pinched behind a rack or unplugged during a move is ruled out before a new one is ordered.

### Usually leads to Wine 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 as Wine 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.

### Make Marvel

Marvel wine coolers serviced where they are installed, from a warm cabinet to a door that no longer closes tight.

## Questions about E1.

### Can I clear E1 myself?

Press any key to mute the alarm. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why does my Marvel keep beeping every hour with E1?

Muting only silences the current alarm. While the sensor problem remains, Marvel’s control sounds it for 20 seconds every hour.

### Is E1 on a Marvel ML24WSG the same as E1 on other brands?

No. Codes are brand-specific; on these Marvel units E1 means the temperature sensor.

### Can the unit keep my wine safe while E1 flashes?

Not reliably, because the control cannot read the temperature. Check it yourself until the repair.
