Possible Causes

Misaligned door, Damaged or dirty door gasket, Faulty door switch or sensor, Warped cabinet or hinges

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before adjusting hinges if tools are required.

Steps to stop false alarms:

  • 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves, drawers, or food items are not preventing full door closure.
  • 2. Inspect gasket: Look for gaps, tears, or hardened sections of the door seal. Clean with warm soapy water and dry. Replace if damaged.
  • 3. Check alignment: Verify that the door is level and square with the cabinet. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
  • 4. Test door switch: Press the switch manually; if the alarm continues, the switch or sensor may be faulty and should be replaced.
