What High Temp Error
actually means.
On the BlueStar FBFD361 the High Temp Error icon means the freezer has run too warm after its first 72 hours. The icon lights once the freezer has reached 28°F or more and failed to get below 16°F within 12 hours. An alarm sounds and the display switches between the set temperature and the warmest one reached. BlueStar names a power interruption on the refrigerator's circuit as a common cause.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from BlueStar's own guidance for High Temp Error on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press Alarm Off to quiet the alarm; the icon keeps showing until the freezer is below 16°F.
Check that both doors close and seal properly.
Look for a tripped breaker or a recent outage on that circuit, and go through the frozen food.
If the icon keeps coming back, book a visit.
What not to do
During the first 72 hours after start-up the icon is not used, so a warm freezer on a new installation is not this alert.
