VAC on older Marvel keypad models means Vacation mode. Lights, alarm tones and keypad tones are disabled, but the compartments are still held at the settings chosen before VAC was turned on. Marvel also uses this mode as its Sabbath mode. Marvel wine cooler display What to do when VAC shows on the wine cooler ### Kind of code Mode, not a failure 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. ### Usually leads to No repair To leave Vacation mode, press and hold the On/Off keypad until the display shows the temperature again. ### 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. ### Source Marvel owner’s guide 41013316 (ML24WB dual-zone wine and beverage unit and related models) Older Marvel units covered by owner’s guide 41013316, which include the ML24WB dual-zone model whose upper zone is meant only for wine.

To leave Vacation mode, press and hold the On/Off keypad until the display shows the temperature again. ### Is my Marvel still cooling in VAC mode? Yes. Marvel says the compartments are held at the settings from before VAC was turned on. ### Why is VAC still showing after the power came back? Marvel designed it that way; an outage does not end Vacation mode. You have to exit it yourself. ### Will alarms warn me while VAC is on? No. Alarm tones are disabled, so check the temperature yourself if the unit stays in VAC for a long time. --- **[Read on the site: Marvel VAC: Vacation mode is on | WineCoolerRepair.center](https://winecoolerrepair.center/error-codes/marvel-vac/)** **[Book a visit with WineCoolerRepair.center](https://winecoolerrepair.center/schedule/)**
