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 to do when 10 1 00 shows on the wine coolerKind of codeTemperature sensors
The control has lost a believable reading from one of its thermistors: the probe in a zone, the one on the cold plate or coil, or on some models the one watching the room. With no trustworthy number, the cabinet either chills the bottles far below cellar temperature or lets a zone drift warm. A sensor sitting in frost, pinched behind a rack or unplugged during a move is ruled out before a new one is ordered.

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.
