What Call for Service
actually means.
On a BlueStar column or built-in refrigerator, "Call for Service" together with flashing dashes means the electronic control has found a problem with the operating system it runs. The dashes take the place of the temperature readouts, so the display no longer tells you how cold it is inside. BlueStar gives no owner step for it beyond arranging service.
