Error codeCL / LO
ApplianceBeverage Center
CL and LO are two labels for the same message on a Whirlpool beverage center. The unit is reporting a low temperature inside. The listing covers beverage centers.
Possible reasons for a low reading
The door was left open for an extended period, or is not fully closed.
A big load of warm or room-temperature items was just added, which can lower the reading.
Power was lost recently. Allow time for the temperature to stabilize afterward.
If it still shows, reset the power
Switch the breaker off, or pull the plug, and wait one minute.
Restore power.
Monitor the unit for one minute.
Verify that it is running.
Other wine storage codes
HI or LO: a separate entry that lists a reset only.
A CL or LO that keeps coming back can be handed to a technician through Whirlpool refrigerator repair in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Call (415) 687-4102 and mention the model number, which of the three checks applied and whether the power reset changed anything.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so CL / LO may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
CL or LO on a beverage center indicates a low internal temperature reading.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
