Whirlpool Refrigerator CL / LO Error Code

Whirlpool says CL or LO can appear on a beverage center when internal temperature is too low. Door position, recent loading, and power interruption are documented external checks.

Applies to Whirlpool beverage center

What the appliance detected

Detected condition

The beverage center reports that internal temperature is too low.

What may contribute

Possible causes

  • The door may not be fully closed or may have been open for an extended period.
  • Room-temperature items may have been recently added.
  • A recent power outage or temperature event may affect readings.

Start conservatively

Safe preliminary checks

Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.

  1. Confirm the product type

    • Record CL or LO and the complete model number.
    • Use this guide only for a Whirlpool beverage center covered by the source guidance.

  2. Check external conditions

    • Make sure the door is fully closed.
    • Note recent restocking with room-temperature items or a recent power outage.

  3. Allow stabilization and reset only as documented

    • Allow the unit to stabilize if recent use explains the alert.
    • If needed, disconnect power for one minute and restore it, then request service if the alert continues.

Actions not recommended

  • Do not adjust sealed-system or compressor components.
  • Do not open electrical controls or test live parts.
  • Do not treat CL or LO as proof of a failed thermostat or control.

When to stop and request service

  • CL or LO continues after door, loading, stabilization, and one documented reset are addressed.
  • The beverage center temperature remains outside a safe or intended range.
  • Internal diagnosis would be required.
