Quick answer
HI or LO on a Whirlpool beverage center or wine cellar has no stated cause in the manual, which gives a power cycle.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so HI / LO may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
