Bertazzoni Refrigerator / Wine Cooler E11 Error Code

E11 at a glance

E11 is defined in the Bertazzoni wine cooler manual as the lower zone frosting probe, open circuit. Its short-circuit partner is E12.

How the probes are organized

Each temperature zone has its own probes. The upper and middle zones list an in-cabinet probe and a frosting probe in the manual. The lower zone appears only with a frosting probe, and E11 is its open-circuit entry.

An open circuit means the probe’s electrical loop is not complete. No cause is given by Bertazzoni, and no owner checks are published.

Alarm summary

• Three tics from the buzzer
• Code flashing about every ten seconds
• On/off key silences the alarm; the probe stays unrepaired

Handling advice

Do not open the cooler’s back or base to trace wires. Pull the plug only if you must move bottles, or if you notice water or a burning smell. Otherwise leave the bottles in place and book a technician.

A caution about reading too much into it

A frosting probe fault is a different thing from a warm cabinet, and the in-cabinet probes are separate parts. The manual says nothing about how the cooler behaves with this probe out, so do not assume the bottles are safe or in danger from the code alone.

Same family

• E7: middle zone frosting probe, open circuit
