Possible Causes

Door not fully closed, Misaligned or damaged door gasket, Faulty door switch or reed sensor, Magnet missing from door frame

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal electrical work is needed for basic checks; unplug only if removing panels.

  • Check door closure: Ensure shelves or food packages are not preventing the door from closing fully. Adjust contents as needed.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for twisted, torn, or hardened sections of the door gasket. Clean it with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
  • Test door switch: Locate the door switch (mechanical plunger or magnetic reed). Press the switch manually; the interior light should turn off and the alarm should stop. If not, the switch may be faulty.
  • Magnet check (for reed sensors): Some models use a magnet in the door. Ensure it is present and aligned with the sensor in the cabinet.
  • Replace faulty parts: Replace the door switch or reed sensor if it does not change state when the door is opened/closed.
