Possible Causes
Faulty door switch, Misaligned door not engaging switch, Magnet/sensor misalignment on some models, Control board input fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before adjusting hinges or replacing switches.
- 1. Verify closure: Check for items blocking the door from closing fully.
- 2. Test door switch: Press the switch manually; if the alarm stops, the switch is working but the door may be misaligned.
- 3. Adjust hinges: Level and align the door so it fully depresses the switch.
- 4. Replace switch: If pressing the switch does not silence the alarm, replace the door switch.
