What we can confirm

## Code Sensor error message, 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.

- 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: sensor error message

### What this one means

The column has found something wrong with itself and is asking to be tested rather than naming a part. 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:

- **An error message on the display with the ALARM symbol lit**

### 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 temperature sensor in one of the compartments
- The wiring back to the control
- The control board

### What to try yourself

- Run the appliance self-test: switch the column off, wait five minutes, switch it on with the door closed, then hold SETUP and ALARM OFF together for five seconds
- Watch the diagnostic messages to the end — if it finishes by showing the set temperature, it has found nothing

### Then what

The self-test is the reason this is worth doing before you call: it takes a few minutes and it settles whether the column has a real problem or reported one once. If it ends with the ALARM symbol and a message, note the message — that is what a technician needs.
