ASKO Wine Cabinet Code P1: Proximity Sensor Error

Low risk · DIY check OK

Code: P1
Appliance: Wine Cabinet
Brand: ASKO
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What P1 means

P1 is the proximity sensor error on the ASKO WCN311942G three-zone wine climate cabinet with the touch display. The proximity sensor notices when someone stands in front of the cabinet, which wakes the display and lights. When the control cannot read it, a pop-up appears. This code is usually a convenience issue, since the zones keep cooling. On ASKO washers and dryers the same characters mean something else, so this applies only to the wine cabinet.

Common causes of P1

The proximity sensor itself
Its connection to the display electronics
Something on or close to the display glass
The control reading the sensor

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press X or Confirm to remove the pop-up. 2. Wipe the display with a soft, dry cloth in case something is covering it. 3. Keep using the cabinet, since cooling does not depend on this sensor. 4. The owner's manual says P1 can be set not to display again, and that the pop-up returns after 3 hours if you do not.

! Why to stop there

P1 does not tell us whether the sensor, its wiring or the display electronics is the cause.
We test the sensor signal and the display before suggesting a part.
A written price comes first, and the repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.

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.

P1P1 questions

Does P1 stop the cabinet from cooling?

No. The proximity sensor only affects how the display wakes up when someone steps close, not the cooling. Your three zones should keep their settings while we sort the sensor out at the next visit.

Can I stop the P1 pop-up?

Yes, the owner's manual says P1 can be set not to display again. That hides the message so it stops interrupting you, but it does not repair the sensor behind it.

Is a P1 worth repairing?

Often the sensor problem is minor and the cabinet cools fine. We give you a written price first and say plainly if you would rather live with it than pay for the repair.
