Error codeE10

Quick answer
E10 is a short-circuit probe code whose zone label is printed unclearly.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so E10 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Bertazzoni lists E10 for the wine cooler as a short circuit on an in-cabinet probe labeled Upper Zone for the second time in the table.
Reading the error table
In the wine cooler manual every probe gets two codes, one for open circuit and one for short circuit. The in-cabinet rows read as follows.
Zone label printed
Open
Short
Upper Zone In-cabinet
E1
E2
Middle Zone In-cabinet
E5
E6
Upper Zone In-cabinet (repeated)
E9
E10
The odd label
Upper zone shows up twice and a lower zone in-cabinet probe is missing from the list, so the repeat is probably a misprint. That cannot be confirmed from the manual, which is why the zone should be left for a technician to verify.
Short circuit in brief
A short circuit means the probe’s electrical path reads as closed where it should not. The control then receives a nonsense value, and a code appears in place of a temperature.
Alarm details
The buzzer gives three short tics.
The code flashes on the display roughly every ten seconds.
The on/off key releases the alarm sound.
Per the manual, a malfunction means a service technician carries out the repair.
When you phone
State the code, the number of zones the cooler has, and which zone display flashes it. Mentioning whether the bottles in that zone feel warmer or cooler than usual is useful. Avoid assigning the code to a specific probe on your own.

Los Angeles owners can call (310) 987-4514 about an E10. Bring the model number from the nameplate to the call. The refrigerator repair page covers the service side.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
