Possible Causes
Corrupted firmware on main PCB, Power surge damage to memory, Incorrect configuration data, Faulty main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect mains power before handling the control board.
- Power cycle: Unplug the wine cooler for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then reconnect. Sometimes this clears transient memory errors.
- Check supply voltage: Ensure the outlet provides stable voltage within Grundig specifications; avoid using undersized extension cords.
- Inspect main PCB: Remove the control board cover and look for burn marks, swollen components, or corrosion.
- Firmware reset (if available): Some models allow a factory reset via a button combination (refer to the service manual). Perform this reset to reload default parameters.
- Replace main PCB: If E13 persists, replace the Grundig main control board. Transfer any configuration jumpers or DIP settings from the old board as instructed.
