Possible Causes
Intermittent door switch contact, Loose temperature sensor connection, Control board sensitivity, Brief power interruptions
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not disable alarms permanently; they protect your food.
Steps to stop nuisance alarms:
- Check door switch: Ensure the switch plunger moves freely and is not sticking. Replace the door switch if intermittent.
- Inspect sensor wiring: Reseat the cabinet sensor connector at the control board and check for damaged insulation.
- Secure power cord: Make sure the plug fits tightly in the outlet and is not being jostled.
- Control reset: Unplug the freezer for 5 minutes to reset the control. If alarms persist, the main control board may be overly sensitive and require replacement.
Note: Some models allow adjusting alarm settings; consult the user manual.
