What Flashing temperature display
actually means.
Private Reserve units have no HI code; they warn about a warm cabinet by flashing the temperature display and sounding an alarm. Vinotemp lists warm contents put in, warm air let in while bottles were rearranged, and a power outage as usual causes, and the alarm silences itself once the cabinet is cold enough again.

What to do when Flashing temperature display 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.
Shows up asWine Cooler Error Code
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 Vinotemp's own guidance for Flashing temperature display on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the door and give the cabinet time to recover if you have just loaded or rearranged bottles.
Check whether the power went out while you were away.
Make sure the front vent is clear and the condenser is not coated in dust.
If the display keeps flashing after several hours with the door shut, move your best bottles somewhere cool and book a visit.
