Error codeCL
ApplianceRefrigerator
Quick answer
CL is the beverage center's low-temperature message. Rule out an open door, a fresh restock and a recent outage before resetting.
Model compatibility: JennAir reuses codes across series and model years, so CL 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
CL indicates the internal temperature of the JennAir beverage center is too low.
When CL appears on a JennAir beverage center, the unit is reporting that its internal temperature has dropped too low. On JennAir’s help page the message is titled “CL or LO”, so the two are handled together.
Check these before anything else
The manufacturer’s page names a few everyday situations that can lower the temperature or keep it from settling. Go through them in turn:
The door may not be fully closed, or it may have stood open for a long time.
The cabinet may have just been restocked. A large amount of warm or room-temperature product can lower the temperature reading.
Power may have gone out recently. After an outage the unit needs time to stabilize.
If one of these applies, give the beverage center time first. JennAir does not point to a faulty part for CL.
Power cycle, as JennAir describes it
Cut power for one minute. Use the circuit breaker, or pull the plug of the beverage center.
Restore power.
Keep an eye on the display for one minute and see whether CL returns.
Verify that the beverage center is operating.
If CL does not go away
A CL that survives stabilizing time and a power cycle goes beyond what the owner page covers. The page gives no further steps and no cause to chase, so the unit should be looked at by a technician.
