# Bertazzoni Door Unit OPEN on the freezer column display

Door Unit OPEN appears a few minutes after the Bertazzoni freezer column door is opened.

## What Door Unit OPEN actually means.

Door Unit OPEN appears a few minutes after the Bertazzoni freezer column door is opened. It is a prompt to close the door before warm air raises the temperature.

What to do when Door Unit OPEN shows on the freezer

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back.

### Usually leads to No repair

Close the door and check that a drawer or shelf item is not holding it off the gasket.

### Shows up as Freezer Door or Lid Not Sealing

A freezer door or lid not sealing shows as a gap you can see or feel, a gasket that no longer grips, a lid that springs back up, or a door that swings open again after you push it.

### Make Bertazzoni

Bertazzoni freezers looked at in the home, with the door seal and the temperature it actually holds checked first.

### Source Bertazzoni Built-in Columns Freezer user manual (REF18FCIP, REF24FCIP, REF30FCIP /23)

Bertazzoni REF18FCIP, REF24FCIP and REF30FCIP freezer columns (/23 series, Professional, Master and Heritage). The REF18FCBIP and REF24FCBIP columns use a simpler panel with no message list.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for Door Unit OPEN on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Close the door and check that a drawer or shelf item is not holding it off the gasket.

02

Wipe the gasket and the cabinet face where they meet if the door does not close with a firm seal.

03

Book a visit if the message shows with the door fully closed.

### Cleared?

The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem.

### What not to do

Door Unit OPEN is not a temperature warning by itself. If the column is also warm with the door shut, the cooling needs a separate check.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about Door Unit OPEN.

### Can I clear Door Unit OPEN myself?

Close the door and check that a drawer or shelf item is not holding it off the gasket.

### Why does my Bertazzoni freezer show Door Unit OPEN with the door closed?

A door that is not quite sealed can read as open. If the gasket and hinges look right, the door switch should be tested.

### Can Door Unit OPEN lead to frost in a Bertazzoni column?

Yes. Bertazzoni links ice and frost inside the freezer to doors left open or not closing completely.

### Is the door hard to open right after closing it?

Bertazzoni explains a short vacuum forms after closing. Wait a few seconds for the pressure to even out, then open it.
