What Temperature Alarm
actually means.
The refrigerator has been above 48°F, or the freezer above 15°F, for longer than an hour and a half, and JennAir says the alarm exists to help avoid food spoilage. The light can keep flashing after temperatures recover, for example after a power outage. After a fresh start-up the alarm repeats every 90 minutes until both compartments are below those limits.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for Temperature Alarm on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the food right away, starting with meat, dairy and anything thawed in the freezer.
Think about recent outages, doors left open or a large load of warm food.
Press the Over Temp or Over Temperature Reset button to clear it, then watch the temperatures.
If the compartments do not come back down within several hours, schedule a visit.
What not to do
It is not a maintenance reminder. It reports that the cabinet was warm, not the reason.

Service indication on other makes
Built-in refrigerator
Flush with the cabinets, serviced from the front, and almost always repaired rather than replaced.
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.
In JennAir's own words
… the Over-Temp Alarm helps avoid food spoilage and high energy costs by sounding an alert when refrigerator temperatures remain at unusually high levels.
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Built-in models show an Over Temperature light; column models call it the Over-Temp Alarm. Both use the 48°F and 15°F limits.
