Press Reset Alarm to stop the flashing, then make sure the door is closed and the base grille is not blocked. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Does the beeping stop by itself on a KitchenAid Over Temp alert? The sound stops once the temperature is back in range, but the light keeps flashing until you press Reset Alarm. That way you still know it happened. ### Why does the Over Temp light keep coming back on my KitchenAid wine cooler? If the zone is still warm when you reset it, the light returns every 4 hours. That repeat is the unit telling you the cause has not gone away. ### Can a blocked grille cause Over Temp on a KitchenAid undercounter wine cooler? Yes. A unit built in under the counter has to vent at the front, so a rug, toe kick trim or boxes stacked in front of the grille can make it run warm. --- **[Read on the site: KitchenAid Over Temp on a wine cooler: a zone is above its set limits](https://winecoolerrepair.center/error-codes/kitchenaid-over-temp/)** **[Book a visit with WineCoolerRepair.center](https://winecoolerrepair.center/schedule/)**
