What Over Temp
actually means.
The JennAir 24-inch undercounter wine unit watches both zones with separate sensors. If either zone sits above its preset range for 10 minutes, it beeps and flashes Over Temp; the sound stops when the zone recovers, but the light keeps flashing until Reset Alarm is pressed.

What to do when Over Temp shows on the wine coolerKind of codeTemperature and alarms
The cooler read a zone well away from its setting and raised an alarm, sometimes showing the warmest figure it reached while the house was empty. The reason may be as small as a door left resting on a bottle neck or a long outage, or as serious as cooling that has stopped. Keep the glass door shut and feel a bottle in the middle of the rack before doing anything else; the alarm is a warning about the wine, not a diagnosis.

Testing and replacing the thermostat or the temperature sensors that tell a wine cooler when to cool, when the cabinet runs too cold, too warm or back and forth.
Shows up asWine Cooler Error Code
A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for Over Temp on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press Reset Alarm, then close the door firmly and clear anything in front of the base grille.
Put a thermometer in the warm zone; move the most valuable bottles somewhere cool and dark if it is well above its setting.
Allow a few hours after a large restock before deciding the zone cannot recover.
If the indicator comes back every 4 hours with the door shut, book a visit.

What not to do
Over Temp is not a sensor code and does not tell you which part failed. It is also not caused by the Cellar Mode change to 55°F, which is a setting you choose.
