Answer to continue safely

Is it safe to keep using?

Yes. The wine cooler is safe to operate, but wine may be damaged if the low temperature persists. Move the unit to a warmer location or adjust the set point to correct the condition.

Can I reset the code?

Yes. The LO alarm clears automatically when the internal temperature rises back to an acceptable level. The audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the alarm button.

When to stop immediately?

Stop if you notice: Stop if wine bottles have frozen and expanded, as they may crack when handled., Do not continue operating the cooler in an environment below 40F without relocating it..

Symptoms You May Notice

LO flashing on the display

The display shows LO alternating with the current temperature or displayed continuously.

Audible low-temperature alarm

The unit sounds a beeping alarm to alert you to the dangerously low temperature.

Frost or ice visible inside cabinet

Ice crystals or frost form on the interior walls or on bottle surfaces.

Wine appears slushy or frozen

Bottles contain visible ice crystals or the wine has a slushy consistency when poured.

Possible Causes

1

Low ambient temperature

The room where the wine cooler is located has dropped below the minimum operating ambient temperature of approximately 50F.

DIY Possible
2

Incorrect temperature set point

The temperature control has been accidentally set too low, causing the compressor to overcool the cabinet.

DIY Possible
3

Faulty temperature sensor

The NTC thermistor is reading incorrectly, causing the control board to run the compressor longer than necessary.

Requires Professional

Safe Checks You Can Do

These checks are safe for homeowners. No disassembly required. Do not remove panels or access internal components.
  1. 1

    Check ambient room temperature

    Use a household thermometer to verify the room temperature where the wine cooler is installed.

    Most Electrolux wine coolers require an ambient temperature above 50F to regulate properly.

    Tools required
  2. 2

    Verify the temperature set point

    Check the temperature setting on the control panel and adjust it upward if it was set too low.

    The ideal wine storage range is typically 45F to 65F depending on the type of wine.

  3. 3

    Monitor compressor cycling

    Listen to determine whether the compressor runs continuously or cycles on and off at regular intervals.

    A compressor that never cycles off is likely responding to a faulty temperature reading.

When to Call a Professional

Contact a qualified technician if:

  • The LO alarm triggers even when the room temperature is between 60F and 75F.
  • The compressor runs nonstop without cycling off, regardless of the temperature set point.
  • One zone on a dual-zone model overcools while the other maintains the correct temperature.
