Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes
Failed upper zone NTC sensor, Loose or damaged sensor harness between upper compartment and PCB, Oxidized connector at main control PCB, Faulty main control PCB sensor channel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect the wine cooler from power before opening any panels.
- Confirm zone: Verify that E2 corresponds to the upper zone in your specific mQuvée model (check user manual or label on rear panel).
- Access upper sensor: Remove upper shelves. Look for a small probe or plastic cover on the rear or side wall of the upper compartment. Gently remove any cover to expose the sensor.
- Visual inspection: Check that the sensor tip is intact and not broken or pulled out of its mounting. Ensure the cable is not cut or pinched by shelves.
- Rear access: Remove the rear service panel and trace the upper zone sensor wires to the main control PCB. Inspect for damage and secure any loose wiring with cable ties.
- Reconnect: Unplug and reconnect the sensor plug on the PCB to ensure a solid connection.
- Test and replace: If you can measure resistance, compare the upper sensor reading to the lower sensor (if identical type). A large discrepancy or open/short reading indicates a bad sensor. Replace with a compatible mQuvée upper zone NTC sensor.
- Persistent E2: If a known-good sensor still triggers E2, the main control PCB likely needs replacement. This should generally be handled by a service technician.
