What to do when dr shows on the wine coolerKind of codeDoor and seal
The cooler noticed its door open for too long, or a switch that never reports it closing. Often a rack slid out a little too far holds the glass off the gasket, the cabinet has tipped forward off level, or a hinge has sagged under a heavy door; now and then the door switch itself has failed. Warm air getting in shows as fog on the glass and a zone that will not settle.

Replacing a torn or flattened gasket, resetting a door that no longer closes square, and repairing the glass door that keeps light, heat and humid air away from the bottles.

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.
