What HIGH TEMP
actually means.
True lists HIGH TEMP among the notification alerts on its column display. On the undercounter freezers and freezer drawers, True spells out the limit: the alarm activates after one hour in a row at or above 20°F, once the alarms have been switched on.

What to do when HIGH 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 asFreezer Error Code
A freezer error code appears on the display: letters and digits, a flashing temperature, or a warning symbol, sometimes with an alarm and sometimes with the freezer still running.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from True Residential's own guidance for HIGH TEMP on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the food by hand and move anything soft to another freezer or a cooler with ice.
Close the door or drawer firmly and make sure the gasket seals; a door ajar alarm often comes first.
If HIGH TEMP returns with the door shut and no warm food loaded, book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into freezer thermostat and temperature control repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
HIGH TEMP is not a sensor or control code; True shows COMMUNICATION ERROR and SERVICE REQUIRED as separate alerts. It also does not mean the food is lost, since 20°F is still below freezing.
