JennAir refrigerator error codes
What the code on the display usually means. Codes differ between models and years, so if yours isn't here or the meaning doesn't match, call and read it to us.
| Code | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| 1F or 1E | Potential issue with the refrigerator's ice maker fan. Often a blockage, a fault in the fan motor, or an electrical connection problem. |
| 2F or 2E | Problem with the freezer's evaporator fan. Similar to the 1F error, this could be due to obstructions, motor issues, or electrical faults impacting the fan's operation. |
| 3F or 3E | Problem with the refrigerator's condenser fan. This fan is crucial for dissipating heat, and problems can arise from obstructions, motor failure, or electrical issues. |
| 4F or 4E | Related to the defrost system. This code may appear if the refrigerator can't defrost properly. Often a faulty defrost sensor, heater, or control board. |
| 5F or 5E | Problem with the refrigerator's temperature sensor. This sensor monitors the fridge's internal temperature, and issues can lead to improper cooling. |
| 6F or 6E | Communication error between the refrigerator's control board and its display. Often a loose connection or a fault in the control board itself. |
Common JennAir refrigerator problems
Not cooling, or the fridge side is warm
Usually a stopped evaporator fan, frost blocking the evaporator coil because a defrost part failed, or dirty condenser coils. Less often it's the start relay or the compressor.
Freezer is cold but the fridge isn't
Almost always a defrost problem. Ice blocks the air channel between the freezer and the fridge. The defrost heater, thermostat or control board is the usual cause.
Water on the floor or under the drawers
A clogged defrost drain, a cracked water line to the ice maker, or a leaking water inlet valve.
Buzzing, clicking or rattling
A fan motor with worn bearings, ice touching a fan blade, or the compressor relay clicking on and off.
Check these before you call
If one of these fixes it, you don't need us.
- Check the breaker and make sure the plug is all the way in.
- Vacuum the condenser coils if you can reach them. Dusty coils make a fridge run warm, especially one in a Florida garage.
- Make sure food isn't blocking the air vents inside the freezer.
- Close the door on a dollar bill. If it slides out with no resistance, the door seal may be the problem.
Repair or replace?
If the compressor or sealed system failed on an older refrigerator, a new one is often the better deal. We'll give you the repair price and tell you plainly if we think it isn't worth it.

Are you an authorized JennAir service center?
No. Fix Now Appliance is an independent repair company, not affiliated with JennAir. If your JennAir refrigerator is still under the manufacturer's warranty, call JennAir first, because their warranty repair is free. Once it's out of warranty, we can fix it.
Is the food safe while the fridge is warming up?
Keep the door closed as much as you can. A refrigerator should stay at 40°F or below, and food safety guidance says to throw out perishable food that has been above 40°F for more than two hours.
Do you work on built-in refrigerators?
Yes. We work on built-in and high-end models, including Sub-Zero, Thermador, Viking, Monogram and Miele.
My refrigerator is still under warranty. Should I call you?
Call the manufacturer first. Warranty repairs are free through their service network. We can help once the warranty is over or if they can't get to you.
Something stopped working?
