Possible Causes

Faulty door switch, Misaligned door not contacting switch, Warped door gasket, Control board sensing error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No high-voltage work is required for basic checks; unplug if replacing switches.

  • Check door closure: Ensure no food items or shelves are preventing the door from closing fully.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for warped or damaged gaskets that keep the door slightly open. Replace if necessary.
  • Test door switch: Press the switch manually; the interior light should turn off and the alarm should stop. If not, replace the door switch.
  • Adjust door alignment: Level the refrigerator and adjust hinges so the door lines up properly with the cabinet and contacts the switch.
  • Control reset: If the alarm persists after mechanical fixes, reset the control by unplugging for 5 minutes. Persistent false alarms may indicate a control board issue.
