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

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. 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.

Back to your everyday

Still showing PWR?

When you book, copy the code or the blink pattern as the display shows it, add the whole model number, and say whether the bottles still feel cool — a code gives the technician a head start.
