What Over Temperature Alarm (undercounter refrigerator / beverage center) means

On KitchenAid KURR and KURL undercounter refrigerators and KUBR beverage centers, such as the KURR114KSB, KURL114KSB and KUBR314KSS, the Over Temperature Alarm tells you the cabinet stayed warm for 4 hours or longer. The limit is above 45°F (7°C) on the undercounter refrigerator and above 70°F (21°C) on the beverage center. The light flashes until Reset Alarm is pressed, and the alert reactivates every 4 hours while the cabinet is still over range.

Common causes of Over Temperature Alarm (undercounter refrigerator / beverage center)

  • The door was left open or does not seal
  • Warm items were loaded or the room is hot
  • A power interruption warmed the cabinet
  • The cooling is not bringing the cabinet back into range
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Close the door fully and clear anything blocking the seal. 2. Press Reset Alarm to stop the flashing light. 3. Keep the door closed for several hours while the unit recovers. 4. Clean the front grille so air can pass. 5. If the alert returns, move drinks or food somewhere cold and call us.

! Why to stop there
  • Resetting the alarm only acknowledges it; the cabinet must actually return to range
  • A repeating 4-hour alert shows the cabinet is still too warm
  • We check the cooling and quote in writing before any work, with a 30-day workmanship warranty
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
