What to do when Cleaning reminder shows on the wine coolerKind of codeCompressor and cooling module
The part that makes the cold is not keeping up. On a compressor cooler it may fail to start, start and cut out, or run on without bringing the zones down; a start relay is the cheap answer ruled out first, while a seized compressor or lost refrigerant is a sealed system job where age weighs heavily. On a thermoelectric cooler the module or its heat sink fans have weakened, and a warm room makes it worse. Keep the bottles cool while it is diagnosed.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for Cleaning reminder on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Cut power at the plug or breaker and give the condenser half an hour to cool down.
Lift off the grille below the door and brush-vacuum the grille, the opening behind it and the front of the condenser.
Refit the grille, restore power and clear the notice with the ALARM icon.
If you cannot reach the condenser or the column still runs warm afterward, book a visit.

What not to do
The reminder is a schedule, not a sign that the compressor has failed. Ignoring it for long can lead to warm zones and long run times, which are real problems.
