How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting door hardware or accessing the switch wiring.
dr indicates the control thinks the door is open for too long.
- Step 1 – Check level and alignment: Use a level to ensure the wine cooler is not leaning forward. Adjust the front leveling legs so the door closes firmly.
- Step 2 – Inspect gasket: Look for gaps between the gasket and cabinet. Close the door on a strip of paper at several points; you should feel resistance when pulling it out. Replace the gasket if it does not seal.
- Step 3 – Verify magnet and switch: Confirm the door magnet is properly seated and aligned with the cabinet switch. Adjust the door or switch position if necessary.
- Step 4 – Test switch continuity: Remove and test the door switch as described for dE. Replace if intermittent.
- Step 5 – Secure wiring: Ensure the switch wires are not loose or pinched in the cabinet frame.
After adjustments, close the door and verify that the alarm stops and the icon clears.
