PO
The refrigerator is simply reporting that it recently lost and regained power.
Refrigerator →
PO
A power outage pushed the freezer above a safe temperature threshold, so it's alerting on food safety.
Freezer →
RS
The thermistor reading fresh-food temperature has drifted or failed, so the board can't regulate cooling accurately.
Refrigerator →

The control board has detected a short circuit and shut the unit down as a safety measure.
Freezer →
SE
Sensor Error
Microwave →
SY-CE
Internal boards inside the refrigerator have lost the ability to talk to each other.

Jenn-Air microwave error codes explained

Jenn-Air’s built-in microwaves, often installed as part of a wall oven combination, flash codes tied to heating performance and door safety systems. The most frequent fault relates to the door switch interlock, which is designed to prevent operation unless the door is fully and safely closed — a misaligned latch can trigger this code even when the door looks closed. Magnetron faults are the more serious category, usually appearing as a unit that runs its fan and turntable but produces no heat.

  • Control panel communication faults between the microwave and a combination wall oven unit
  • Turntable motor fault codes
  • Cooling fan faults that can lead to overheating shutdowns during long cook cycles

Door-switch and interlock faults are usually straightforward to diagnose and repair, while magnetron faults require careful, specialist handling due to the high-voltage components involved — this isn’t a DIY repair. Genuine parts are used to keep heating performance consistent with the original specification. On combination units, technicians also check whether a fault code is actually being generated by the oven side and simply displayed on the shared microwave interface, which is a common source of confusion when troubleshooting over the phone.
