What Self-test result
actually means.
Thermador's Freedom wine columns include a self-test program started from the settings menu. The column checks itself, shows any problem it finds, restarts, and then displays a message for 10 seconds that the test has finished. Thermador presents the result as information for customer service and does not publish what each message means.

What to do when Self-test result shows on the wine coolerKind of codeControl board and display
The electronics that read the sensors and switch the cooling, the fans and the lights have reported a problem with themselves or lost touch with the display. A loose ribbon cable, moisture that reached the touch strip or a brief power surge is checked before a board is condemned. Boards and displays are usually specific to one model, so the number on the label matters here more than anywhere.
