--- title: "CellarPro LA: the cellar has dropped below 45°F" description: "What LA means on CellarPro LA: the cellar has dropped below 45°Fs, what to check before booking, and when it is not a failure at all." url: "https://winecellarrepair.center/error-codes/cellarpro-la/" --- # CellarPro LA: the cellar has dropped below 45°F LA is CellarPro's low temperature alarm, preset at 45°F. ## What LA actually means. LA is CellarPro's low temperature alarm, preset at 45°F. It usually means the space around the cellar has turned cold, or the minimum setpoint is set lower than intended. CellarPro's advice is to raise the ambient temperature or the minimum setpoint. Like HA, it is held off for the first 23 hours of operation. CellarPro wine cellar cooling unit display What to do when LA shows on the wine cellar cooling unit ### Kind of code Temperature and alarms The controller saw the cellar go past a high or low limit and raised an alarm, sometimes holding the worst reading it logged while the house was empty. The reason can be as small as the cellar door left ajar after a tasting or a long outage, a room gaining heat from new lights or a sunny glass wall, or as serious as cooling that has stopped. Keep the door shut and read a thermometer on a middle rack before touching anything; the alarm is a warning about the collection, not yet a diagnosis. ### Usually leads to Cellar cooling load and room check Measuring the cellar as the cooling unit sees it: insulation, vapor barrier, door, glass and the heat load, to show whether the unit can ever keep up. ### Shows up as Wine Cellar Too Cold A wine cellar too cold feels like stepping into a walk-in: the thermometer sits in the 40s, bottles come out beaded with water, and the unit keeps running long after the room should have been satisfied. ### Make CellarPro CellarPro cooling units looked at in place, from a controller that has gone quiet to water where it should not be. ### Source CellarPro 1800 Series owner's manual CellarPro control panel on 1800 and VS self-contained units, split systems and air handlers; each owner's manual lists this code. The factory limit is 45°F. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from CellarPro's own guidance for LA on its wine cellar cooling units. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Check the minimum setpoint on the panel and raise it if it was set too low. 02 If the cellar sits next to a cold garage or outside wall in winter, add gentle heat to the room. 03 If the unit keeps cooling while the cellar is below 45°F, switch it off and book a visit. ### Still there?

Check the minimum setpoint on the panel and raise it if it was set too low. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can a CellarPro warm a cold cellar? CellarPro sells cold-temperature options for extreme conditions; a standard unit only cools, so the room needs heat from elsewhere. ### What minimum setpoint should I use on a CellarPro? CellarPro's split manual suggests raising it to 60°F when LA appears. Many owners keep a cellar near 55°F. ### Why does my CellarPro show LA only in winter? The cellar loses heat to cold surroundings faster than it gains it, and the unit has no way to add heat. --- **[Read on the site: CellarPro LA: the cellar has dropped below 45°F](https://winecellarrepair.center/error-codes/cellarpro-la/)** **[Book a visit with WineCellarRepair.center](https://winecellarrepair.center/schedule/)**
