Possible Causes
Faulty door switch, Misaligned door causing poor contact, Weak door magnet (on reed switch models), Control board misinterpreting door status
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before testing switches or adjusting doors.
Steps:
- 1. Check door closure: Ensure nothing is obstructing the door and that shelves or bins are not preventing full closure.
- 2. Inspect gaskets: Replace damaged door gaskets that prevent a tight seal.
- 3. Test door switch: Remove and test the door switch for proper operation. Replace if faulty.
- 4. Adjust hinges: Align the door so it presses the switch fully.
Note: If the alarm persists after hardware checks, the main control board may be at fault.
