How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before removing hinge covers or sensor housings.
- Check door closure: Verify that each door closes fully and that nothing inside is blocking closure.
- Inspect gaskets and hinges: Adjust hinges if doors sag or are misaligned. Replace damaged gaskets.
- Locate sensor and magnet: Ensure the magnet in the door is present and aligned with the sensor in the frame. Replace missing magnets.
- Test switch: For mechanical switches, press them manually and see if the alarm stops. Replace any switch that does not change state.
- Inspect hinge wiring: On models with wiring through the hinge, look for broken or frayed wires and have them repaired by a technician.
