What 10 1 00
actually means.

Designer wine storage reports its cabinet sensors with codes starting with 10. 10 1 00 means the zone 1 cabinet thermistor is open; 10 1 01 means it is shorted and 10 1 02 that it is unstable. Zones 2 and 3 follow the same pattern with the middle digit changed.

What not to do

10 1 00 is not a warm alarm; the zone may still be at the right temperature. A zone that is really warm or cold shows 40 1 09 instead.

Questions
about 10 1 00.

Can I clear 10 1 00 myself?
Note the full code, since the last two digits say whether the sensor is open, shorted or unstable. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
What do the last two digits mean in a Sub-Zero 10 code?
On the Designer wine pages, 00 is an open sensor, 01 a shorted one and 02 an unstable one. The middle digit is the zone.
Is a 10 1 00 repair a big job on a wine column?
Usually not. It is a sensor or its wiring, reached from inside the cabinet, though racks may have to come out first.
Why did the code clear after a breaker reset?
A passing glitch clears with a reset, and Sub-Zero treats a clean retest as the end of it. A code that reappears means the probe or its wiring is really damaged.

Back to your everyday

Still showing 10 1 00?

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.
