Press Alarm Off to quiet the alarm; the icon keeps showing until the freezer is below 16°F. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why doesn't the BlueStar High Temp Error icon go off after I press Alarm Off? Pressing Alarm Off quiets the sound, but the icon remains until the freezer drops below 16°F. It lights after the freezer reaches 28°F or more and fails to get below 16°F within 12 hours. The display alternates between set and warmest temperatures meanwhile. ### Can High Temp Error appear on a newly installed BlueStar? Not during the first 72 hours after start-up, when the icon is not used. After that, a power interruption on the refrigerator's circuit is a common cause. Check for a tripped breaker or recent outage. --- **[Read on the site: BlueStar refrigerator showing High Temp Error](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/bluestar-high-temp-error/)** **[Book a visit with RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/schedule/)**
