# Perlick T2H: the upper wine zone is above its high limit

T2H is the same G5 high temperature alarm as T1H, but for zone 2.

## What T2H actually means.

T2H is the same G5 high temperature alarm as T1H, but for zone 2. Perlick uses zone 2 only on dual-zone units, where it is the upper, warmer section. The checklist is the same: door and gasket, condenser coils, front grille, room temperature and warm product.

What to do when T2H shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Temperature 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 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 Perlick

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Perlick's own guidance for T2H on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Check the door seal, since a door that does not close pulls warm air into the top first.

02

Clean the condenser coils and clear the front grille.

03

If T2H returns within a week, move bottles from the upper section and book a visit.

### Still there?

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

### What not to do

T2H does not mean the whole unit is failing; the lower zone may be fine. A zone 2 probe that stops reading shows P2F instead.

## Questions about T2H.

### Can I clear T2H myself?

Check the door seal, since a door that does not close pulls warm air into the top first. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why is only the top of my Perlick dual-zone warm?

Each zone is controlled on its own, with air dampers between them. A damper, a zone fan or the door seal can leave the upper zone warm while the lower one holds.

### Is T2H ever shown on a single-zone Perlick?

Perlick uses zone 2 only on dual-zone units, so a single-zone reserve reports its cabinet as zone 1.

### What should the upper zone be set to?

Perlick sets the upper wine zone of its dual-zone reserve to 55°F at the factory. T2H means it has gone well past what you set.
