Error code MECH-09 on the Jenn-Air JS42NXFXDE Built-In 42 in 20.7 cu ft Built-In Side-by-Side Refrigerator with Advanced Water Filtration means: Interior LED Light Flickering or Dead. LED lights inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment flicker, are dim, or have stopped working — on newer Jenn-Air models, the lights are integrated LED modules (not replaceable bulbs); check the LED module connector for a secure connection; if the module has failed, it must be replaced as a complete unit; LED modules may be mounted in the ceiling, side walls, or door of the compartment; intermittent flickering can indicate a loose connector or a failing LED driver circuit; on older models with standard bulbs, simply replace the bulb
