What LA2
actually means.
LA2 is the cold-side counterpart of HA2: the condenser probe reads below its alarm temperature. It usually means the unit is breathing very cold air, from an unheated garage, an outdoor installation in winter or a cold equipment room. CellarPro's split and 1800 manuals ask owners to contact them about LA2 rather than simply clear it.

What to do when LA2 shows on the wine cellar cooling unitKind of codeTemperature 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 toCellar 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 asCellar Cooling Unit Error Code
A cellar cooling unit error code appears as letters or digits on the controller, a flashing reading, a blinking light on the unit, or an alarm tone, sometimes while the cellar still holds its temperature.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from CellarPro's own guidance for LA2 on its wine cellar cooling units. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the temperature of the space the unit exhausts into or draws air from.
If the unit is installed where winter temperatures drop sharply, note the conditions when LA2 appeared.
Book a visit; on VS units the LA2 setting can be lowered in the advanced menu, but only once the cause is known.
Still there?
It usually turns into cellar cooling load and room check. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
LA2 is not the cellar being too cold; that is LA. It concerns the condenser, outside the cellar.

Ducted cellar cooling unit
A self-contained cooling unit placed outside the cellar, in a mechanical room, attic or basement, that sends chilled air in and takes return air back through insulated ducts.
Split-system cellar cooling
An evaporator inside or beside the cellar and a condensing unit outside or in another room, joined by an insulated copper line set and charged on site.
In CellarPro's own words

Still showing LA2?
When you book, type the code or the blink count as the controller shows it, add the full model number, and say what the thermometer in the cellar reads now — that gives the technician a head start.
