Book a visit

Three short steps, about a minute.

or call (844) 709-0727

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for Showroom Mode on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press and hold COOL ON and SABBATH together for 3 seconds to leave Showroom Mode.

02

Check that Cool Off is no longer lit and both zones show their set points.

03

Check the temperature over the next day and move valuable bottles if the cabinet had warmed.

04

If the mode comes back by itself, book a visit.

Cleared?

The display has gone quiet and the cabinet is back at its setting without a new part. Should the code reappear this week, or the reds start feeling warm again, book a visit and mention that it came back.

What not to do

Nothing has failed in Showroom Mode; the control is simply not running the cooling. It is also not plain Cool Off, where only Cool On and Cool Off appear and the other menus are hidden.

What you may
notice with it.

The wine cooler problems Showroom Mode tends to arrive with. Answer these at the wine cooler before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

A setting someone switched on, often by leaning on the touch panel or left over from the showroom floor, rather than a part that wore out: a demo mode that lights the display and the rack lamps while the cooling never starts, a Sabbath setting that turns off the lights and alarms, a child or control lock that ignores every key press, a reminder that the glass door stood open. The cabinet is fine, and its own keys or its manual switch the mode back off.

Questions
about Showroom Mode.

Can I clear Showroom Mode myself?
Press and hold COOL ON and SABBATH together for 3 seconds to leave Showroom Mode.
Why is my JennAir wine cooler warm when the display looks normal?
If Cool Off is lit while the menus still work, the unit is in Showroom Mode. Hold COOL ON and SABBATH for 3 seconds.
How does a JennAir wine cooler end up in Showroom Mode at home?
The COOL ON and SABBATH hold that exits the mode also enters it, so a wide hand on the panel can trigger it.
Will unplugging my JennAir wine cooler clear Showroom Mode?
JennAir gives the two-key hold as the way out, not a power cycle. Use the keys and check that Cool Off goes out.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Showroom Mode?

When you book, copy the code or the blink pattern as the display shows it, add the whole model number, and say whether the bottles still feel cool — a code gives the technician a head start.
