JennAir Beverage Center Code CL or LO: Internal Temperature Too Low

What CL or LO means

On JennAir undercounter beverage centers such as the JUBFL242HX, CL or LO means the internal temperature has dropped too low. The display shows it when the compartment is colder than expected, often after the door stood open a long time, a big load of warm items went in, or the power was out and has just returned. In most cases the temperature settles on its own.

Common causes of CL or LO

The door was left open or is not sealing fully
A large load of warm or room-temperature items was added
A recent power outage left the temperature swinging until it stabilizes
A control or temperature sensor problem if the code stays on a closed, steady unit

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check that the door is fully closed and nothing blocks the gasket. 2. Think back: was it just restocked, or did the power go out? If so, give it a few hours to stabilize. 3. Turn the unit's power off, wait about a minute, and turn it back on. 4. If CL or LO is still showing after a full day with the door closed, schedule service.

! Why to stop there

A door or restocking cause fixes itself, so a repair visit would be wasted money.
If the code stays after the unit has settled, guessing at the sensor or control by swapping parts is a poor way to find out what is wrong.
We would rather check the unit properly and quote the repair in writing.

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.

CL or LOCL or LO questions

Does CL or LO mean my drinks are freezing?

It means the internal temperature reads too low, so cans and bottles can get colder than you want. Move anything fragile or carbonated out until the temperature is back in range.

It showed up after we restocked. Is that normal?

Yes, it can happen. A big load of warm items or a long open door upsets the temperature, and the unit needs time to stabilize. Leave the door closed for a few hours first.

Is this the same as HI or LO on a wine cellar?

No. This page is about the CL or LO message on beverage centers. Undercounter wine cellars use a separate HI or LO message, so make sure you match the display text to your model.
