# Perlick PWR: the wine reserve lost power

PWR is the G5 power outage alarm.

## What PWR actually means.

PWR is the G5 power outage alarm. When power returns, Perlick asks you to check that nothing temperature-sensitive was harmed and to confirm the date and time, since the alarm history uses them to stamp each event.

What to do when PWR shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Power

The cooler saw the supply voltage dip, surge or drop out, or is recording that the power was cut while nobody was home. The cause is as often the outlet, a shared circuit, an extension cord or a storm outage as the cooler itself. A breaker that will not hold or a whiff of hot plastic means cutting the circuit at the panel, standing dry and clear of the cooler, then leaving the glass door closed until the technician arrives.

### Usually leads to Wine cooler diagnostic visit

A visit that measures each zone and the room around the cabinet first, then works through the door seal, the airflow, the sensors and the cooling system until one part is named.

### 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 Perlick

Perlick wine cooler repair for units under the counter or behind the bar that no longer keep a steady temperature.

### Source Perlick G5 User Installation & Operation Manual, Form Z3023 (linked from the G5 Luxe 24-inch wine reserve page)

Perlick G5 Core and G5 Luxe wine reserves with the touch display, single-zone (URS15W, URS24W) and dual-zone (URS24D). Up to ten past alarms stay listed, with date and time stamps, under Alarm History.

## Before you book, in this order.

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

01

Check the wine temperature with a thermometer; a short outage rarely matters for wine.

02

Reset the date and time in the date and time menu so alarm history stays accurate.

03

If PWR keeps appearing without a known outage, have the outlet and cord checked or book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [wine cooler diagnostic visit](https://winecoolerrepair.center/services/diagnostic-visit/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

PWR is not a failure of the unit itself. Repeated PWR alarms with no outage in the house point at the outlet, the breaker or the cord.

## What you may notice with it.

The wine cooler problems PWR tends to arrive with. Answer these at the wine cooler before anyone is booked.

## Questions about PWR.

### Can I clear PWR myself?

Check the wine temperature with a thermometer; a short outage rarely matters for wine. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Is my wine ruined after a PWR alarm?

Rarely. A closed wine unit warms slowly, and a few hours without power barely changes the bottle temperature.

### Why does Perlick ask me to reset the date and time?

The alarm history stamps each alarm with a date and time. An outage can leave the clock wrong.

### My Perlick shows PWR every few days. What is going on?

Something is cutting power briefly: a tripping breaker, a loose plug, or a GFCI outlet. Have the circuit checked before assuming the unit itself has a problem.
