What Over Temp
actually means.
On JennAir column freezers, Over Temp sounds an alert and lights an indicator when the freezer stays warm. After installation it repeats every 1½ hours until the freezer drops below 15°F; pressing the Over Temp indicator turns off the tone and light.

What to do when Over Temp shows on the freezerKind of codeTemperature and alarms
The freezer measured a cabinet warmer than it should be and said so, sometimes with the highest temperature it reached while nobody was looking. The cause can be as simple as a door left ajar or a long power outage, or as serious as a compressor that stopped. Keep the door or the lid shut and check whether the food is still hard before anything else; the alarm is a warning about the food, not a diagnosis.
Usually leads toFreezer thermostat and temperature control repair
Repairing the dial thermostat or the sensor and control that decide when a freezer cools, so it stops running without end or quitting too early.
Shows up asStandalone Freezer Not Freezing
A standalone freezer not freezing shows it on a thermometer long before the food goes soft: packages give under your thumb, a tub of stock is slush at the center, and the cabinet air feels cool rather than biting.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for Over Temp on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press the Over Temp indicator to silence it.
Keep the door shut and check that it closes fully against the gasket.
Check the food and move anything thawed to a working freezer or a cooler with ice.
If Over Temp keeps returning after the column has had a day to settle, book a visit.

What not to do
Over Temp right after installation is expected while the new column cools down. It only means trouble when it comes back once the column has been running normally.
