Viking 5 Series Wine Cellar Code LL: cellar temperature too low

What LL means

On 2018-and-later Viking 5 Series undercounter wine cellars, such as the FWUI5152G, FWUI5242G and VWUI5241G, LL shows on the display for a low temperature condition. The cellar is colder than the control setting, and contacting service is the official step. For wine, too cold is also a concern, since very low temperatures can chill bottles beyond the intended range. The code points to the sensor, the control or the setting rather than the door.

Common causes of LL

A setting lower than intended
A temperature sensor that reads wrong
A control that keeps the cooling system running
A cellar located in a very cold room

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check the temperature setting and raise it a few degrees. 2. Make sure bottles are not pushed against the back wall. 3. Wait several hours and check whether LL clears. 4. Check that the room is not very cold. 5. If LL returns, call us.

! Why to stop there

A changed setting is the first thing to try
If LL persists, the sensor or control needs testing
Very cold storage can harm bottles

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

LLLL questions

What does LL mean?

It means low temperature. The cellar is colder than its control setting, which is the opposite of HH, and the unit may be chilling bottles more than you intended.

Can I fix it with the setting?

Often. Raise the setting a few degrees and give the cellar several hours. If LL stays or comes back after that, the sensor or the control needs testing by a technician.

Will you check it?

Yes. We test the sensor, the control and the cooling cycle, and quote the price in writing before work. Repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.
