What Flashing F
actually means.
A blinking F means the JennAir control has flagged something that needs checking. JennAir's help pages offer one step for it, a one-minute power reset, and a service visit if the F keeps coming back. On its column models JennAir also lists F-and-E codes such as F3E1, but the pages behind them say there is no troubleshooting for them.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for Flashing F on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Copy down the full code on the display before touching anything.
Turn off the breaker or unplug the refrigerator for one minute, then restore power.
Confirm cooling is on and watch the display for a minute.
If the F is back, book a visit and quote the code you copied.
What not to do
JennAir does not publish what the individual F numbers point to, so a parts list built from them elsewhere is not from the manufacturer.

Refrigerator column
Separate refrigerator and freezer towers, each with its own sealed system — so a failure stays on one side.
French door refrigerator
Two fresh-food doors over a freezer drawer — the most common premium layout, and the one with the most to go wrong at the door line.
