Possible Causes

Door not fully closed, Misaligned door hinges, Failed door switch or sensor, Damaged door gasket preventing closure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal electrical work is required for basic checks, but unplug the unit if adjusting hinges or removing panels.

Steps:

  • Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves, bottles, or racks are not preventing the door from closing fully.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for tears, warping, or hardened sections of the door gasket. Replace if it does not seal evenly.
  • Adjust hinges: If the door sags or rubs, adjust the upper and lower hinges per JennAir instructions so the door aligns squarely with the cabinet.
  • Test door switch: See the E9 entry for testing and replacing the door switch or magnetic sensor.
  • Clear alarm: After correcting the issue, close the door firmly and wait for the alarm to clear, or press the alarm reset button if provided.
