Possible Causes
Misaligned door, Weak or damaged door gasket, Faulty door switch or magnet, Warped cabinet frame
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before adjusting hinges or replacing switches.
- Check door alignment: Verify the door is level and flush with the cabinet. Adjust hinges to correct sagging.
- Inspect gasket: Look for gaps where the gasket does not contact the cabinet. Replace if deformed or torn.
- Test door switch: Manually operate the switch and see if the alarm stops. Replace the switch if intermittent.
Persistent false alarms after mechanical corrections may indicate a control board input fault.
