What Blinking amber lights
actually means.
On a JennAir professional-style stove, amber lights blinking with three short tones and one long tone signal an error. The stove shows the actual code by flashing its knob lights, or you can read it in the JennAir app if the stove is connected.

What to do when Blinking amber lights shows on the stoveKind of codeKnobs, keys and display
A key on the panel was held down too long, reported a press nobody made, or stopped answering; or a knob's switch told the stove it was on when it was off. Water, a spill or grease worked in behind a knob is ruled out first, then the switch, the key panel and the cable to the board. If a burner keeps heating while the keys or knobs do nothing, switch the stove off at the breaker.
Usually leads toKnob and switch replacement
Stove knobs that are cracked, loose or spin in place, and the switches behind them that leave a burner stuck on high or dead, replaced at the knob, the stem or the switch.
Shows up asStove Display Blank or Flashing

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for Blinking amber lights on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Move both the Mode knob and the Temp knob off their current settings.
Return the Mode knob to Bake and the Temp knob to Off.
If the amber lights come back, the error is still there; note it from the app or the knob flashes and book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into knob and switch replacement. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
Amber lights are not a code in themselves; they say a code is waiting to be read. A blinking white Start button is a different message about pressing Start too soon.
