P1 and the proximity sensor
On the WCN111942G, a current Asko wine climate cabinet, P1 stands for a proximity sensor error. That sensor gives feedback, per the user settings, when someone is within range of the closed door.
The one error you can hide
P1 is the only error whose display can be switched off by the user. Hiding it changes nothing about the fault itself: the error stays, because it cannot be disabled, and only the message goes away.
While any error is active
Other actions on the display are not possible apart from the alarm key, the key lock key and the On/Off key.
Whether the P1 message is shown or hidden, the sensor still needs a technician visit. We cover San Francisco and the Bay Area; read Asko wine climate cabinet repair or call (415) 993-3547 with the code, the model number and your earlier steps.
Model compatibility: Asko reuses codes across series and model years, so P1 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
Proximity sensor error.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, water lines, sealed cooling systems or anything behind a panel. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
