Possible Causes
Faulty door switch, Loose door magnet or reed switch, Temperature sensor drift, Control board sensitivity
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing switches or control boards.
Random alarms are often due to intermittent sensor signals.
- Check doors: Ensure doors are closing fully and not bouncing open slightly.
- Inspect door switches: Test each door switch for proper operation and replace if intermittent.
- Monitor temperatures: Use a thermometer to verify actual temperatures. If normal, the alarm may be due to sensor or control issues.
- Reset alarm: Silence and reset the alarm via the control panel. If it recurs frequently, have sensors and the control board checked.
