Error code
Thermador refrigerator error code: temperature alarm
Thermador error code, the kind with no number: temperature alarm — the cabinet has been warmer than its setting, and the column is telling you so rather than showing a number. What it covers, what to check first, and what it does not tell you, on built-in refrigerators & columns and freezer columns.

What we can confirm
Code Temperature alarm, from the manufacturer's own documentation
This code has no number, because this equipment has no display to put one on. The appliance signals it instead — an alarm, a symbol or a pattern of lights — and what it means is recorded in the documentation that ships with it.

The symptom this code usually arrives with
A code names the subsystem; the symptom is what sent you to look at the display in the first place. That page says what it usually turns out to be, cheapest cause first.
-
No code — read the alarm Refrigerator not cooling
A column that is warmer than it should be, running constantly, or alarming. This make publishes no refrigeration error codes at all, so what the cabinet signals is the diagnosis.
- Cabinet warmer than its setting
- Compressor running and never resting
- An alarm symbol on the display

About Thermador refrigerator error code: temperature alarm
What this one means
The cabinet has been warmer than its setting, and the column is telling you so rather than showing a number. This is a code without a number: the refrigeration columns have no display to put one on, so the appliance signals it instead. This make publishes no numeric codes for its refrigeration at all, and what this one means comes from the manufacturer's own documentation rather than from us.
How it shows on the display
There is no number to write down here, so this is what to look for:
- The set temperature flashing with the ALARM symbol lit
- An audible signal, when the tone is switched on
What sets it off
An alarm is deliberately broad — it tells you the cabinet noticed something, not which part is responsible. This one comes on for:
- A power failure while you were out
- A large load of unchilled food put in at once
- A door left open, or a seal that is not closing
- A genuine cooling problem in the column
What to try yourself
- Press the ALARM button — the signal stops and the highest temperature the cabinet reached is shown for a few seconds, which tells you whether the food was ever at risk
- Note whether the alarm clears on its own as the cabinet pulls back down; that separates a warm load from a repair
Then what
The highest-temperature reading is the useful part, and it is gone once the display returns, so read it before you clear anything. A column that alarms with the door shut, no power cut and a normal load is the one to book.
This one appears on built-in refrigerators & columns and freezer columns. The full list of codes has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
