What HIGH TEMP
actually means.
HIGH TEMP is one of the notification alerts a True column can show when it needs attention. The column manual lists it without a threshold. True’s undercounter wine cabinets use a clear rule: the high temperature alarm starts after an hour at or above 70°F.

What to do when HIGH TEMP shows on the wine coolerKind of codeTemperature 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.

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.

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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from True Residential's own guidance for HIGH TEMP on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check that the door is closed and not held open by a rack or bottle.
Check the zone temperature with a thermometer in a glass of water after an hour.
If the column stays warm, move the most valuable bottles somewhere cool and dark and book a visit.

What not to do
HIGH TEMP is not the door alarm, though a door left open can cause it. It is also not a display or communication problem; those show as other alerts.
