What Lo
actually means.

Lo is the low temperature alarm on the Cross Temp control. Because a Cross Temp can be set anywhere from about 40°F down to -15°F, a Lo alarm often follows a set point change: someone switched the cabinet between cooler and freezer settings without the alarm limits following.

What to do when Lo shows on the commercial appliance

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Beverage-Air's own guidance for Lo on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Check the set point and ask whether anyone changed the cabinet between cooler and freezer use.

02

Look for frozen product that should not be frozen.

03

Silence the buzzer and log what you find.

04

If Lo repeats with the right set point, book a visit.

Still there?

It usually turns into reach-in and prep table repair. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

Lo is not a cooling failure; the cabinet is doing too much, not too little. On a Cross Temp, switching modes with product inside is something Beverage-Air asks you to avoid.

Where Lo usually leads

Reach-in and prep table repair.

Questions
about Lo.

Can I clear Lo myself?
Check the set point and ask whether anyone changed the cabinet between cooler and freezer use. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why did my Beverage-Air Cross Temp show Lo after a change?
If the set point was moved toward freezer use, the cabinet may be running below the alarm limit meant for cooler use. A technician can align the limits.
Can I switch a Beverage-Air Cross Temp with food inside?
Beverage-Air says to remove all product first and reload only once the cabinet has reached the new temperature.
Does Lo on a Beverage-Air clear by itself?
The alarm stops once the temperature is back above the limit, but the display holds the lowest temperature reached so you can log it.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Lo?

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code as shown, the model and serial from the data plate, and a word on whether the unit still holds temperature, heats, rinses or spins. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your unit the same day.
