Error codeZone T Short

Quick answer
Zone T Short on a U-Line dual-zone wine unit indicates a shorted zone thermistor circuit. The manual says to contact Customer Care.
Model compatibility: U-Line reuses codes across series and model years, so Zone T Short may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Left or right zone thermistor circuit shorted.
Zone T Short on your U-Line wine unit
This message reports that the left or right zone thermistor circuit is shorted.
How it may appear
Zone T Short, L Zone T Short, R Zone T Short and (L) (R) Zone T Short are all the same code. On DWR/ZWC models L refers to the top zone or drawer, R to the bottom zone or drawer.
Next step
Customer Care is the manual’s answer here. No owner test is given, and the circuit is something a technician checks.
Applies to
The 3036 dual-zone U-3036BVWCS-00B and DWR/ZWC models. Current generation.
Codes worth a look
Zone T Open: the opposite circuit state for the same sensor circuit.
Temp Lo 12H+: a zone far below set point for a long time.
