Digital display shows E1 and cabinet temperature is not matching the set temperature; unit may run continuously or short-cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the BODEGA43 wine cooler from the mains before removing panels or touching internal wiring.

Step-by-step checks:

• Power reset: Disconnect power for 5–10 minutes, then reconnect. If E1 returns, continue with diagnostics.
• Access the cabinet sensor: On most BODEGA43 models, the cabinet NTC sensor is clipped to the evaporator cover or mounted on the rear interior wall behind a small plastic cover. Remove interior shelves and the rear plastic panel to expose it.
• Inspect the sensor and wiring: Look for broken insulation, pinched wires, or a loose plug where the sensor connects to the main control board (usually behind the rear metal panel).
• Test the sensor: With a multimeter set to resistance (kΩ), measure across the two sensor leads. At room temperature (20–25°C), most BODEGA43 NTC sensors read roughly 5–10 kΩ. An infinite reading indicates an open sensor; near 0 Ω indicates a shorted sensor.
• Check the connector on the PCB: Ensure the sensor plug is fully seated on the main control board and that pins are not corroded or bent.
• Replace if faulty: If readings are out of range or the sensor is physically damaged, replace the cabinet temperature sensor (NTC probe) with a compatible BODEGA43 part. Route the new sensor along the original path and secure it away from moving parts and sharp edges.
• Reassemble and test: Reinstall the interior panel and shelves, restore power, and verify that the E1 code clears and the temperature stabilizes within a few hours.

When to call a technician: If a known-good sensor still triggers E1, the main control board may have a defective sensor input circuit and should be diagnosed or replaced by a professional.
