VERIFIED
If you are comparing the wine cooler error table with what your cooler shows, E9 is the entry that does not quite add up on paper.
What the table says
E9 is listed as “Upper Zone In-cabinet probes,” open circuit. But E1 already has that exact label, so the same zone appears twice. In the full list the lower zone has a frosting probe (E11, E12) but no in-cabinet entry, which is why we read the second “Upper” as a probable misprint for lower. That remains our reading, not the manufacturer’s statement.
Why this matters little for you
The instruction is the same either way: a service technician handles the repair. You do not need to work out which zone E9 refers to before calling. The technician will check the in-cabinet probes against the zone that is alarming.
Open circuit, briefly
A probe on an open circuit is not completing its loop. The control receives nothing from it, and the code takes the place of a temperature. Compared with E10, which is the short-circuit version, the manual does not say why a probe is open.
Alarm behavior
| What you notice | What it means |
|---|---|
| Three tics in a row | A fault code is present |
| Code flashing every 10 seconds | Which fault, read it from the display |
| On/off key | Releases the alarm sound |
While the alarm sounds
Press the on/off key to release the sound, and keep the cooler plugged in unless you see water, smell something burning or hear something unusual. There is no instruction in the manual to empty it, and no reason in the code itself to move the bottles.
Other open-circuit codes
- E1: the genuine upper zone in-cabinet probe, open circuit
- E5: the middle zone in-cabinet probe, open circuit

Call (415) 692-0756. Read the nameplate for the model, and tell us which zone’s display shows E9.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so E9 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
