Quick answer
CL or LO on a Whirlpool beverage center says the internal temperature is too low. The manual lists three checks and a one minute power cycle.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so CL / LO Low Temperature may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
The internal temperature is too low.
CL or LO: what the display is saying
On a Whirlpool beverage center, CL or LO means the inside temperature is too low.
Check before resetting
Look at the door. It should be shut all the way, and it should not have stood open for a long stretch.
Think about the last restock. Warm or room-temperature bottles added in bulk can pull the temperature down.
Think about the power. After an outage, allow the unit time to settle.
Power reset
Break power for one minute by switching off the breaker or pulling the plug. Restore it and keep an eye on the display for one minute. Then confirm the unit is working normally.
Similar-looking codes: HI or LO and E1, each with its own entry.
