Cut power at the plug or breaker and give the condenser half an hour to cool down. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Where does a JennAir wine column hide its condenser? Behind the lower or upper front ventilation grille, depending on the model. The grille under the door comes off for cleaning. ### Why wait 30 minutes before cleaning my JennAir wine column condenser? A running condenser gets hot, so JennAir wants it back at room temperature before your hands go near it. ### Can I clear the JennAir wine column cleaning notice without cleaning? You can dismiss messages with the ALARM icon, but the dust stays. A clogged condenser makes the column run longer and hold temperature less well. --- **[Read on the site: JennAir wine column cleaning reminder: grille, filter and condenser due](https://winecoolerrepair.center/error-codes/jennair-condenser-cleaning-reminder/)** **[Book a visit with WineCoolerRepair.center](https://winecoolerrepair.center/schedule/)**
