Warped or misaligned door, Damaged door gasket, Faulty door switch or magnet, Overloaded door shelves causing sagging
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No live electrical work is required for basic checks; unplug if replacing switches.
- Step 1 – Visual check: Look for gaps between the door gasket and cabinet. Ensure nothing is trapped in the seal.
- Step 2 – Level and adjust: Level the appliance and adjust door hinges if the door is sagging or misaligned.
- Step 3 – Reduce load: Remove heavy items from the door shelves that may be pulling the door out of alignment.
- Step 4 – Replace gasket or switch: If the seal is damaged, replace the door gasket. If the alarm persists, replace the door switch or magnet sensor.
