Whirlpool Refrigerator Temperature Alarm error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0–$300 · Duration: 5m

The Temperature Alarm means your Whirlpool refrigerator detected that the internal temperature has risen above a safe level — often triggered by a door being left open, a power outage, or a cooling system issue. Pressing any key will acknowledge the alarm. Make sure doors are closed and check that the cooling function is on. If temperatures do not recover within a few hours contact a qualified technician or schedule service.

Common causes

  • A door was left open allowing warm air to raise the internal temperature
  • A power outage occurred and the temperature rose while power was out
  • Cooling function was accidentally turned off
  • Cooling system fault preventing the refrigerator from maintaining temperature
