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.
A Whirlpool beverage center that displays CL or LO is telling you the internal temperature is too low. The message is listed for beverage centers.
Three questions from the manual
Is the door fully closed, or was it open for an extended period?
Was the unit restocked? A large load of warm or room-temperature items can lower the reading.
Was there a recent power outage? Give it time to stabilize.
Cycle the power
Turn off the circuit breaker, or unplug the unit, for one minute. Switch the power back on and watch the unit for one minute to see whether the code returns, then verify it is running.
Other codes on these units: E1 and E2, which also get a power cycle, and HI or LO, which is listed separately.
